Is it the float is badly adjusted or does it constantly leak even if you hold the blue float up ?
More likely the diaphragm is faulty.
These are fitted to many ideal and Armitage Shanks toilets.

If it's the diaphragm faulty then i would probably change complete valve for a fluidmaster valve.

Washer in the float valve is knackered. I'd get a whole new valve, replacing the washer doesn't always do the trick

Many thanks for the quick replies
it constantly leaks even if you hold the blue float up, so I will check the washer 1st I guess I just unscrew the parts to revival the washer.

If I need to replace the value or diaphragm what part would fit?

Does anyone know if the top of the part should screw off or would i need to remove the whole part to replace the washer?

Unscrew the top outer ring, The part with the ribbed edge.
