The fill on our toilet has slowed down and I've found a tiny tear in the rubber diaphragm

I'll give it a try, though after a previous visit, the local guy will probably want the remaining arm and leg!
It's a Siamp -

True - they are quite wide.
I've had problems with Fluidmaster where the cistern went into a continuous syphon mode (which might be related to the syphon too). The problem was caused by the Fluidmaster's immediate opening when flushed: water (which is quite high pressure here, especially at night) would refill so quickly whilst still flushing that the syphon never broke and so would continue to dribble indefinitely. A temporary fix was to throttle water fill rate with the service valve (noisy, slow and unreliable) but the real fix was to swap the Fluidmaster for a Torbeck.
Thanks for that, I've emailed them.
Fluidmaster;
Yes, I had that with a Flowmaster so had to throttle the supply. The 'new' (about 4 yo) flush has a Siamp in/out and the fill is delayed.
'kinell £10 for a diaphragm washer! You can get the whole valve for that
