We've got an Ideal Standard Space corner toilet with a dual flush system. The
flush button broke €“ it turns out as a result of the flush plate not being
aligned with the button housing. In other words, the plastic screw had
originally been forced into position and the bent rods eventually broke.
So, we're replacing the dual flush button.
We had to straighten up the cistern tank first as it wasn't level and the
valve canister was just too out of whack. Now it's sitting much better.
We've also adjusted the valve canister height in order to fit the securing
plastic screw. BUT the cistern will now not refill. The water is running but
it seems to run straight out again. What is causing this?
However, without the flush button screwed in place, all the mechanisms seem to
be working fine.
We are baffled as to why screwing in the flush button is messing up the whole
system. Any ideas? Thanks.

The flush button is pushing down on the flush release valve and (partly)
opening it. You should be able to trim the plastic fingers on the
underside of the button to the right length.
