    Hi folks, the toilet at home is very very slow to fill up. Im not too well up on how to fix it, although i know the water valve is releasing very little water. Any ideas on how to fix this. Cheers.

    Im not sure to be honest. It says Shire 7/58 underneath the top if thats any use. The water only drips out of the valve.
    Thanks.

    Likley to b a blockage in the ballvalve, open it ip and give it a clean out, should sort it.
