Note that in the original photo, the long threaded bit of plastic "tubing" which contains the metal bar from the cistern handle to the actuator should be free from that bar in many models. Any build up of corrosion or limescale between them can cause problems.

I'd post a pic showing it rather than describing it, but I can't figure out how to since we lost our VM webspace.
