Hi..have just replaced ballcock / arm and other bits. The small right angled plastic filter that the water fills through keeps coming off...water drips down cistern....when lid is off...sprays all over. What is this bit called?....I think it has a lip that , when turned...catches the blue plastic nut to retain it....? thanks.

Posting a picture might help.0 -
If you have time to go into a plumbers merchants go in with some pictures. When I needed to replace a part out the cistern I just took some photos and found the local shop very helpful. They sold me the correct part and gave me clear instructions. I was very happy - a plumbing repair for a few £s

seems like Water inlet valve!0

I would suggest you fit one of these, depending on whether the water comes in from the bottom of the cistern:
or the side:0 -
you will need to replace it with a new valve, as there are so many makes on the market. Get one with a brass inlet if poss. As posted above, but a picture would help.A thankyou is payment enough .0

Get the one above, turn off water, undo the blue nut on the right and fit the new one to that, make sure you fit the seals.A thankyou is payment enough .0
