Cistern Pan Hose Question

[Ben-gee]

I would add a washered screw (or flange headed) to the top of each slotted hole before trying to change the fill valve.

It’s one of those : either do the least possible so as not to disturb anything from its current position ( eg flush pipe seals, pan connector);
Or - take cistern right out and refit with new internals and new seals everywhere.
A decision best taken on site.

Thanks... I certainly wouldn't want to move anything if keeping the existing setup. I am considering, just replacing the whole lot excluding the pan given it's age. Probably overkill but gives piece of mind and hopefully many more years trouble free operation.
