  • Still leaking into the pan from the cistern

    The cistern has been leaking into the pan constantly for ages, so today I’ve replaced the fill valve, the doughnut/ coupling washer and the flush valve. All working fine, except there is still a steady flow of water leaking into the pan as it was before. It’s driving me bonkers!! So the cistern leaks water out, then refills itself, then leaks, then refills...etc. Any ideas?
