Hi guys, having an issue with one of our toilets overflowing which is very annoying. I've had to switch the water off for tonight, hoping to get a new part from B&Q, Wickes, Screwfix or someplace in the morning...
It fills up then starts overflowing into the toilet. You flush it, it fills up noticeably higher than it should, then starts overflowing into the cistern. We tried all sorts, removing the flush valve, checking the rubber seal seems fine.
I then figured out it's this part in the first photo highlighted pink - think it's called the inlet valve? (no idea truthfully)... We swapped the part from our other toilet, and it resolved the issue, and then made the 'working' toilet start overflowing, so it's definitely just this part needed to fix it.
But I don't know exactly what it's called, and scrolling through Ideal toilet spares, B&Q, Wickes etc so far and I can't see exactly what I'm after either! The toilet is an Ideal Standard E7998 if any of you guys can help.
TL;DR what is the part I've highlighted pink and where can I get one?
EDIT: Or even a universal part I can replace it with, just to stop it overflowing and get it working properly again?
