    Ah here, sorry for being so thick but for the life of me i cant figure this out!
    What am i missing??

    Basically, toilet siphon broke so i got a new one but needed to take the float assembly out to fit it, and now i cant put it back together..dumbass, i know.

    The parts seem to be straightforward in where they fit but i just cant seem to get the last step right and get it working..
    Maybe im missing a part?

    Ive attached pics of the parts i have and as i assemble them - the bit im confused about is the big black gasket, where does it go? It seems to fit where i placed it in the photo but i dont see how the valve would then work?

    Any help appreciated, need the aul toilet back in action pronto..

    You are missing a cone shaped piece, either white, red or black.

    Fit rubber diaphragm onto inner cartridge as you had it, it has a slight grooved edge on one side, this fits onto the cartridge.
    Put pin back into body to push against lever.
    Put inner cartridge complete with diaphragm into the main body with diaphragm against the pin aligning the round hole to the top in line with the spout on the body.
    Fit cone into other end of cartridge with narrow end to the rubber diaphragm.
    Fit rubber O ring to flat side of cone.
    Align notch on body with main upright, connect and tighten.
    Turn on water supply and ensure valve is stopping water when lever is raised.
    Allow cistern to fill and feel flushed with success.
