New Float Valve

Notice how the float is submerged, when it got stuck like that the water kept coming into the cistern until it overflowed.

It's never fun working around, under and behind a toilet, not as messy as the whole waste pipe replacement last year though. Very little space for spanners to remove and tighten the pipes. The whole cistern had to come off so as to change the float valve mechanism.

Will keep an eye on it to ensure nothing leaks.
