Hi guys!

Having some problems with my dual flush loo: there is a constant trickle into the pan. I think I know what part I need but my online search is hampered by not knowing what it's called (or anything, for that matter!).

Here's the whole mechanism:



Here's the 'Black Rubber Seal Thing' that I think is letting the water through in place:




And here's two close ups of the seal thing I need to know the name of:





I've scoured the B & Q and Wicks sites by eye too but can't find anything that would fit :(. Anybody got any suggestions? Sorry for being massively thick!


Thanks,

Matt
 
Cistern.

And most probably its the seal (as you correctly identified). Somestimes flipping it upside down can give it an extended lease of life, but if they can be mounted only one way then no choice but to replace it.
EDIT: Ooh a fellow Hampsharian! If you live near to Farnborough, take that to Lunns, they will know exactly how to sort you out. And quite helpful folk there too, if a little on the expensive side. Good luck :)
EDIT2: Heres there website. Im pretty they dont sell any of OCUK products and vice versa :D http://www.shop.lunns.net/ Not the most attractive website but they are quite good.

Forde if you have managed to take it off (the rubber seal) you can turn it 'upside down' and it should hold water again.

I did say that above, but I think the seal looks like it can only go on one way.

The washers are much smaller and are not as elastic as the cistern washer.
