cistern inlet pipe, little plastic connector split?

thanks for being the only one to reply but you were incorrect in saying it was part of the inlet valve.

the little plastic connector was in fact....a little plastic connector. it takes a 22mm thread down to a 15mm thread. this was split. i replaced it with a £1.50 metal equivalent from b&q and put some ptfe tape around it, and all is good.

If it's the threaded part the 'Flexi pipe' [the silver pipe] is fitted to as you say then afraid its replacement time for the inlet valve as it's part of the body of the valve.

Turn off the water in Remove the complete inlet assembly and go to plumbing store ask or look for a 'bottom feed valve assembly' to match what you have or near it. Also worth thinking of changing the 'Flexi pipe' for one with check [turn off] valve if not already fitted. Don't bother trying a repair its a waste of time and will not work.
