Advice for this type of cistern?

    Hello all. My toilet cistern has developed the annoying habit of continuing to run water into the bowl after a single flush. 2-3 pushes of the flush tends to (not always) stop the water running eventually and the cistern then fills as normal.

    There's no ends of advice about this type of issue online, but a complicating factor is the access to the cistern itself, and the type of cistern. It is built into a panel in the bathroom wall, which was tiled all round by the builder. Access (for now) is only via the flush button panel which pops off, then the internal button panel unscrews to reveal the innards. It works by air pressed through a couple of tubes, not by a lever / arm. I have uploaded a few pics to show what i mean.

    Is this easily fixed at all, i'm at the end of my tether.

    I came on here looking for advice as I have the exact same problem... wonder do we live in the same estate! I have the same issue with both the master and the en-suite toilets, it causes the pump to constantly run and im at the end of my tether with it. Ive tried fixing it by lubricating the sliding mechanism but it hasnt worked. If anyone has any advice or could point to a plumber that could fix it would be most appreciated.
