Toilet cistern won't fill up and when adjust it manually it won't stop filling

[Gifford]

When I flush the cistern, it empties but will not fill up. When I make adjustment inside to make it flush it will not stop filling (oh yeah and it is VERY slow at filling)

Any help or advice much,y appreciated.

You need a new toilet inlet valve... Like a torbeck or fluid master.

Sounds like the diaphragm washer. It's an easy fix and the washer is readily available. Turn off the water to the cistern then you need to unscrew the lever arm, remove the large black washer and replace it with a new one facing in the same direction as the original. I'm assuming it's the Torbek type fill valve or one of its variants. Post a picture and we can advise you further.

You need a new fill valve as said. Don't bother trying to repair this, get a fluid master

I think its a Siamp ballcock. you can get washers for them from B&Q. They aren't the best ballcocks though so maybe fitting a new one might be better.

fluidmaster is far and away the best fill valve. siamp imo are pretty crappy

The newer torbecks are turd as well. The cheap inlet tubes tear off so easily, they're connected to a cheap plastic ring now!
