Thank you; I'll give it a try tomorrow...Prob a bit loose it’s hard to guage with plastic threads best would be to tighten up then turn the water on and tighten slowly until no water is leaking

I find sometimes if you put 2 fibre washers on the fitting it can work.
I'll give it a try. I bought two fibre washers. Despite the excellent specification; the thickness of the washers I received is 1 mm only.I find sometimes if you put 2 fibre washers on the fitting it can work.
Me again...sorry.I looked at it again this morning, using PTFE tape and Jointing compound, I kept one Fibre washer as there was not much space for two....Thankfully, the water did not leak out from the joint when I tested it. Many thanks to all of you for your help
outside and at the bottom of the cistern,see please the top arrow in the attached image, leading to the external isolation valveThe nut against the cistern ?
Thank you, I'll give it a goNeed to remove it all to find out why it’s leaking might be not centred etc
I did not screw the cistern on the wall or on the toilet seat when letting the water through; doubt this could be a cause. Here is the picture of the inside, an O-rubber seems at the bottom of the valve. The nut seems too tightly adjusted.Need to remove it all to find out why it’s leaking might be not centred etc
