    Constant water flow down back of bowl, not gushing but trickling along steady enough

    Is there a seal needs replacing in the centre piece of the cistern (don’t know the name of the piece - flushing unit Perhaps ?????) ?

    Are you sure it is not just an overflow? May just need to adjust your ballcock?

    Perhaps there's a bit of debris in the valve which is preventing it from closing fully?

    Have the same issue & cleared some debris yesterday which slowed down the trickle a lot, but not enough. Will be draining the unit & stopping a refill before having another go later on.

    I've taken it asunder and it's obvious the valve diaphragm needs replacing in my case


    Know where I'd get an Armitage Shanks one anywhere?
