Default overflowing sistern with torbeck valves

Hi,

If there is a FAQ somewhere on this I've missed please let me know.

I have 3 toilets all with torbeck valves and all overflowing into the
bowl. 2 are the same toilet, sistern and valve. 1 of these has never
worked since day one always dripping until full then overflowing into
the bowel, the other has only recently started doing this. On the 3rd
one (a different make) you flush the toilet, it fills, overflows for
about 10 seconds then stops.

We had a water meter fitted around about the time the 2nd toilet
started overflowing and I thought it might be dirt so I took the valve
to bits to clean it out - it looked OK.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to stop it?

Thanks.

Martin
