    Why does the water run down my toilet when the tap is running or shower on?
    Every time we run the taps or have a shower, or even shortly after flushing the toilet water starts running in thew toilet, any ideas would be helpful.
    Thanks in anticipation

    Lift the lid and watch the float ball while someone opens and closes a cold water tap. Dose the float ball bounce up and down allowing the ballcock to run? Let me know, back to you, Tom
