If the fill valve is working correctly, issue is the flush valve. Try turning off the water supply and see whether the cistern empties or remains fullish.
 
When the water is turned off. The water stops dripping in the toilet and stopped dripping from the fill part as shown on the video.
Water on / cistern rather full. Think too much water in abs drips constant in bowl and from the part (video)

Unfortunately I cannot see a video - only sound.

From your description I would suggest the new valve is ether faulty and overfilling and that the water is overflowing into the pan OR that the fill valve is setup incorrectly and trying to maintain a fill level that is higher than the internal overflow level. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. The fill value just kept running regardless of the weight. So was overfilling into the internal overflow. Replaced it with a new fill value and now works fine.
Thanks all for your advice in solving this issue
