The wife has even hinted that we might partake in some extra curricular activities tonight, thanks to me saving a plumbers bill. Although on my flush the smaller level indicator on the side of the unit was the trouble as it was sticking and preventing the plunger from going down far enough, you can ensure it is operating ok by making sure the that the bottom of the plunger is down a good 1 ins from the unit casing, if not it means the plunger is still sticking and the water will still run thru it into the toilet pan,so just make sure its 1 ins . There is one red wheel on a pipe connected to the bottom of the tank, and another (red also) on one at around shoulder height. It wasn't clear to me if I could simply remove the top half of the old cistern valve, and replace it with this new one so I took the plunge (pun intended).

PLEASE NOTE CERTAIN PARTS OF SCOTLAND, IRELAND and the ISLE of MAN will not be next day if chosen and will take an extra day.I might dissassemble my old one to see why it was jamming because outwardly I can't see a problem, but the problem has gone away with a new one. It may be push in the left side as pictured or pull out the right side - when it comes off, all will become clear, it has a keyhole shape inside it.

I give this 3 stars because I bought one in October 2019 (as the one that came installed with our bathroom about 5 years previously had broken - plunger mechanism was jamming so water was continually flushing into the bowl) but it has only lasted until August 2021 - with the same problem. The cable-controlled flush valve can be easily fitted either to the top or the front of the cistern and is suitable for cisterns from 300 mm to 420 mm.

The top section of the valve is compatible with the now discontinued AFV40100 and AFV40200 models and simply fits into the existing cradles without removing the cistern.

Use the tools cog symbol on your camera/phone/tablet to set the smallest image size, then post a picture. You can save on the squirting a bit by opening the little plastic box (one small Philips screw and a bit of levering) and getting at the cable directly, but before you open it look carefully at how much of the cable outer is showing. I've tried to include as many pictures as possible in the hope all this makes sense and hopefully prevents you from having to pay for a plumber to visit. Maybe this bit was overkill but I also disconnected the cable on both ends and cleaned the visible parts - the was some gunk and, after taking the spray diffuser off the WD40 can I forced a whole load of WD40 down inside the cable sheath - again pulling the cable a couple of dozen times to move the WD40 around.Next job - try and figure out how these units can be disconnected from the cistern - can't see any obvious way to do it yet. I simply unclipped the little plastic box from the underside of the flush button, and squirted a generous glug of WD40 into the box through the hole that the flush plunger pokes into. When I said "press the bar on the side", in your case this refers to the blue tab close to the cistern lid, as Ayjay says, easily removable.
