A lot of the times when you flush, the cistern does not refill with water. So you have to take off the top of the cistern and shake the arm that holds the float. Then it starts to refill. I thought something might be blocking it so cleaned with an old toothbrush, but still does it. How do I fix it or do I have to buy a whole new float? I read somewhere there are hundreds of different types so it may not be easy finding the same one. Help is appreciated. Building tip No. 3: A raft slab will not get you down a river.

They are physically smaller and much quieter too. Can't remember the brand but something along the lines of 'Universal' and came in a yellow box, think it had green text. Hope this helps?
