Build up of water scale ~ changes the dynamics of the system ~ causes vibrations.

It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

I had the same thing earlier in the year, It is the diaphragm in the inlet, a cheap and easy fix. I think they cost a couple of quid from B&Q (Other diy suppliers are available) To change it undo the nylon nut at the end of the ballcock, where the water runs out of the inlet pipe and into the cistern and inside will be a black rubber diaphragm. Replace that and tighten bacck up and that should stop the scary noises. scared:

Come on the rest of you, cisterns and bathrooms are a goldmine for cringe-making puns.

Flush, flushed, flushing, overflow. overflowing, ball cock, ball valve, diaphragm, lime, scale etc etc.

Your apathy and lack of creative urges is driving me round the bend.  noooo:
