Leaking Toilet

lantanna

Could I DIY it?:)

DirectDebacle

Possibly debris under the valve body that needs cleaning out. OP should find the info and videos available here useful.

Ok so had another good at it last night and removed the main part which contains the overflow pipe and checked the seal etc - nothing seems to be wrong with it.

I have the same toilet in the en suite and took the lid off to see if it all looked the same. The only thing that I can see different is when ever the toilet is flushed the overflow pipe does not click up to rise above the water. (I hope this makes sense - I 'm not very technical)

So I'm thinking if I buy a new tube( with the overflow pipe within it this should fix it?)

Bump?:D Bump? Bump>?

Not sorry it doesn't make sense. I can't imagine what it is you have done (might be the lateness of the hour). Can you either paint a better word picture of what you have done or alternatively draw on one of the images to show what you are talking about.

Personally I'd probably be dumping the old Siamp stuff an replacing with a decent Fluidmaster - thats both flush valve and inlet valve by the way.

If what you are saying is that you plan to replace the syphon, the tube in your terms, then yes, that's what I would do, but remember to get the correct size and to set it as per instructions to suit your particular sanitaryware.

If water is overflowing (at the top of your 'tube') into the bowl then the fault lies in the fill valve.

Test this by turning off the water, if it stops the overflow then this is the problem. (Unless someone's been playing with the float level adjuster??)

OP hasn't said which of the two it is yet despite already having been asked. Oh well.
