Toilet Vibration

[wo88les]

i think i have a problem with my TOILET CISTERN FILLER VALVE, mine vibrates everytime the toilet is flushed,

the problem is, im not a plumber and i need some advice on which part i need, the only thing i really know is that it is a BOTTOM ENTRY CISTERN heres a picture of the filler valve if anyone can help..... Thanks

almost certain that you need a new washer in the ball valve and the screw on top should be touching the side of the cisten in the photo it looks short

Thanks for the quick reply mate oh also my watermains stopcock doesnt close completely and the water still flows, just with a lot less pressure, so turning the water off completely is going to be a bugger, if i turn the stopcock off and then run all taps in the house, should that drop the pressure enough to change the washer??? also what size washer does it need?? and can i get them from B&Q or would i have to go to the plumb centre in the industrial estate??

Thanks again

I think you might be better getting a family member round who has done it before

i dont mind doing it myself BOD, im quite mechanically inclined so it should be an easy job

just need an idea on the size of washer id need, it would be easier if by the picture someone knew the size, otherwise its a stripdown... size check,,, put back together then of to plumb centre,, back home,,, strip down and repair lol

Thanks again
