Cistern overflow!
The water goes into the overflow, I've been told this is ok as it will run back into the cistern, is that correct? It doesn't have a ballcock as it's the modern type so I adjusted the control by turning the screw anti clockwise, it reached the normal level and settled but when I checked it a little later it had risen above and had entered the outlet tube!

Trial and error
Are you sure it's not going into the pan?

Re: Cistern overflow!
That's correct, if it overflows it goes into the pan.It seems like the Valve isn't shutting properly, possibly faulty.
I'd screw it down a lot lower than the markers and then try readjusting it.
I'm ok at replacing them but not well up on the mechanics etc.
Gasman or Fender may be a better bet, although they're heating engineers their understanding of all thing plumbing will be far greater than mine.
