Sounds to me like the diaphram has split. This is a piece of thickish polythene in the bottom of the rectangular part of the syphon, and costs a few pence. This is a relatively easy job to do. If your syphon is like the one at £6 (QSP163) then the water will need turning off and the cistern removing in order to change the diaphram. If your syphon looks like the one in QSP46, 51 or 52 then it can be taken apart while the water is still on by unscrewing the blue ring just down from the top. The rectangular housing can then be removed and the diaphram changed.

There is a diaphram in the bottom of the thing that has probably torn and need replacing. I used a circle of clear plastic cut from a file folder. It lasted 3 years.

Is the water in the tank at the correct level?

Thanks EricP.

I have now destroyed one of my wife's plastic folders (nice pink colour!) and have a working toilet again!

Nice tip, thanks!

If your syphon looks like the one

Thanks John. Luckily mine did have the blue ring, and using EricP's tip about cutting up a plastic folder, things are now back to normal. What did we do before the internet?? Thanks again.
