    Dudley syphon. Flushes first time but won't flush again for a few minutes although cistern is full

    Dudley japtic syphon. The first flush works fine, the cistern fills up fully straight afterwards, but when you try to flush again it doesn't flush.

    Cistern refilling 'delayed'

    I have a Villeroy & Bosch cistern with a Geberit dual push button valve - about 15 years old. After flushing, the cistern refills to about halfway and stops. Then, the valve seems to randomly allow a bit more water through. There's no indication that the cistern gets more than about 2/3 full...

    Concealed cistern query re flushpipe connection.

    A concealed cistern has a small leak from where the flushpipe joins the flushvalve. I have not seen this type previously but the large round cover would appear to be out of alignment. Is it designed to unscrew from a thread? Anyone care to explain as to how it can be removed? Thanks in advance.
