    Water slow to fill cistern
    Push button type toilet takes the cistern up to 2+ hours to fill.
    Could this be an air lock?
    Can someone please suggest a solution.
    Alternatively if this is not the problem, could someone please offer cause and solution?
    As you may gather... I haven't a clue!!

    Air in the line is not the problem You have a defective fill valve, or at least a defective washer or seal in the fill valve. Your fill valves over there are a little different than ours, can you describe or show a picture?
