  • remove the lid from the toilet and at the end of the ballcock is a plastic nut, this just needs adjusting so it stops more water than necessary filling up the tank

    No good just adjusting the water level, as it will not flush.
    You will have to replace the washer.
    A thankyou is payment enough .
