Dan, is the flow from the pet cock as steady as it looks on the pic ?
 
If its dripping steadily from the petcock into the cistern, and flushing periodically, its working exactly as designed.

If its dripping steadily from the urinal spreaders, then its the auto-syphon thats gone.

If its dripping from anywhere else - somethings leaking! :)
 
Start again ...... If the pet cock is letting a small steady flow of water into the cistern and the auto syphon is at its flush level , it will leak the same amount back into the urinal . Or have I had toooooo much jack daniels lol.

Put a new pet cock on or iso valve in the morning it wont do any harm to pull out the syphon out and clean it and give it a go.

Hopefully nobody has chucked anything in the cistern .

Did find a suspicious looking bag on top of it, definitely won't be putting my hands in without looking...
