Next we fit the water inlet valve to the cistern. This simply passes thru the hole in the side of the cistern and is bolted on using the 2 plastic washers and the 19mm nut provided. Don't over-tighten it – just nip it up. Make sure that the float mechanism is roughly vertical. Once in place the flexible water pipe is attached and the stopcock opened.
As the cistern starts to fill with water. Check that there are no leaks anywhere !!!
The fill level is adjusted using the small plastic screw on the float mechanism.(see photo)
There are 2 marks on the flush mechanism marked “min” and “max”. The float mechanism should be adjusted so that the water fills to between the two marks.

Next adjust the level of the threaded rod which triggers the flush mechanism so that it is about 1 cm below the top edge of the cistern. This is just a rough adjustment at this stage so no need to do up the red lock nut.
Toilet Repair Step 11
Fit the Chromed Flush button to the lid of the cistern as shown in the photo and put the lid in place.
The last step is to re-adjust the length of the plastic threaded rod 'till the blue line on the button just disappears. (You can just about make the blue line out in the close-up photo below)

This might take a bit of trial and error.
That's it ! Easy as that. You now have a non-leaky and water saving toilet. It really is one of those jobs that takes less time to do than to explain how to do it !
