Thanks for the fast advice everyone .
The cistern doesn't have a hole for an overflow so I will stick to the
internal type.

I will fit the filter. There were two adaptors with it, one of which
will fit my service valve pipe. I'm not sure if it will reduce the
flow though.

Two "adaptors" ?? You're not getting confused with the high and low pressure
thingymabobs that you fit in to the bottom of the valve before you connect up
the supply pipe. ?

Hm, not too happy with mine. After flushing the cistern is prone to
overflow. It matters not how I adjust the float, the problem is the
valve does not always close properly, the overflow lasts for anything
from a few seconds to several minutes. I've replaced the mechanism once
already, and it is a pain as it means disconnecting the inlet pipe and
removing the whole caboodle from the cistern. I'm thinking of going
back to the old fashioned ones, they seem to last much longer.
