    Love the video. I'm an odd job man, (not a plumber or electrician) and get asked to fix loads of things around offices and I'm expected to be able to fix everything. You saved me a load of headaches to simply fix this toilet and they think I'm a magician! I wish all the 'fix it' videos were so to the point, I just want a fast honest clear explanation so I can get on, do the job and get onto fixing the next thing. I fixed my own toilet in 30 seconds which has been running for 2 or 3 years because I was too busy and it looked too complicated for me to bother with until I was forced to research how to fix one for a client!! Many thanks.

    Thanks for this! I have watched several videos about over-filling loos tonight, and so far yours was the only one to suggest tightening the valve under the loo which appears to have done the trick! I must have unknowingly loosened it when I recently did some deep cleaning round the back of the loo! Also, thanks for having such a straightforward, fluent and clear video to watch. There are so many out there done with wonky phones or cameras, it drives me nuts trying to get any info out of them when I'm already pissed off and frustrated by something thats broken.

    Great video thanks. Your first tip worked for me. Our flush was running for about 10 mins after pressing. I tighten the valve slightly and this seems to have solved it. The cistern takes approximately 20 seconds longer to fill but it's far better than the flush continuing 10 minutes later!

    Thanks plumberparts! Problem was exactly as you outlined. Bit of plastic from those toilet blue got jammed in the plunger seal. Cleared that and presto, problem solved. Though the connecting steel hose from the mains to the cistern also decided to give way at the same time. Had to change that as well. So aside from a strained back from all the bending over, everything is good. Thanks again!

    Excellent video, solved my problem in 20 mins by simply cleaning a tiny bit of scale from the rubber at the base of the large tube that should normally seal - it was hard to twist off the tube in the first place and the plastic seems so brittle it seems likely to break forcing it off when twisting the tube anti-clockwise - maybe I was using the wrong technique getting the tube off to get to the seal attached to the bottom of the tube to clean it.

I hadn't tightened the big plastic nut underneath the cistern tight enough. Once I did this it's perfect.
