Default WC cistern innards control question

Blimey, that is more than I've got in mine!
What are you trying to troubleshoot. Before twiddling things it might be
good to look for wear. Is there one of those plastic washers that crack
inside?

I have, in my bathroom, a WC. The separate cistern is just above the
throne. Cistern, handle, and throne are as installed while the property was
under construction, and so should match.

The inner workings of the cistern - of the usual sort, I suppose - were
professionally installed as replacements about a decade ago, approximately;
I have no "user and/or maintenance manual".

I understand how the siphon currently works. There is a translucent plastic
bung by the top of the blue lifter chamber, near the top; I understand that
will inhibit a much-reduced flush if the handle is not kept depressed.
There are two yellow plastic apparent-bungs, one above the other, in the
side of the lifter chamber; I can only suppose that removing either of these
diminishes the size of the full flush.

At the front of a blue protrusion on the side of the blue riser from the
lifter chamber, there is a yellow sort-of-knob which can be turned; it is
evidently part of a spindle which goes through the blue protrusion, and the
other end of the spindle, which is slotted, can be seen protruding at the
back. Might that be a flush-throttle?

Comments welcome.

There's very little on WCs in the UK d-i-y Wiki, as far as I can see. The
Web has a lot; but mostly about foreign systems AFAICS.
