I have an inlet valve that is allowing some water in even when the float is raised. I wanted to check the washer - presumably diaphragm, but after taking off the cap, I'm unsure how to dismantle the valve. Any tips?
The inlet came with a NUCA C211 valve.
The other option is to remove/replace the inlet, but I'd hoped a washer would do the trick (less waste, easier!)

Have to turn the handle part anti-clockwise with the water off to the Cistern and hold the bottom body
 
Do they tend to rotate either way, or only one way (anti clockwise). No space to twist anti clockwise due to location in the cistern (otherwise it will be time to totally remove)?
 
Needs to go anti clockwise as thereā€™s stops by the looks of it

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
