Reassemble and test.

Or get a replacement for under a fiver.
When i have more time i think i will do as Richard suggested to see if the rubber thing is damaged or limescaled up as i need to find some tools first.

When you say i can buy a replacement for £5 is that just the ballcock arm attachment and can you link to it on Homebase, i am hoping for an exact replacement to make it easier?

Is this what i would need to replace the part in question if i can't sort the rubber out?

Or maybe this.... i need to be able to unscrew and replace, job done?
