Looks like tha siamp washer was faulty ie spilt so repair insitu possible - £3 and 10mins, but you now know all else is okay with feed... An all round helpful video post. Cheers.
great video as i gone through a similar issue the little inlet valve is the answer £2 on ebay give or take. full system flush and inlet valve dont make £50 i'm going to buy a couple for spares for the future
Check the obvious the washer first before you start taking it apart from underneath ,should of known when I seen putting wood filler in before removing all the rot ,splicing new piece of timber is the answer
I have the same valve with the perished diaphragm - sadly it appears impossible to find a replacement diaphragm. I can't find an identical unit, however a similar one is under £10. Of course it appears I don't have an isolator valve so will need to turn the mains off at the stop cock!
My inlet diaphragm seal is new and still no water entering cistern - The tube pipe which unscrews is finger tightened. Silicone seal at top of tube is fine. 🤷
Thank god you weren't the first vid i went to, all the other guys just changed the washer first before dismantling the whole jax
Thanks for this! $6 part and all fixed!
Really good video, straight to the point
Great advice, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this, I have the same problem on a similar toilet, 3 hours to fill at the moment!.

Can't find the washer, so a new unit it is (available for under £10)
As a site maintenance guy in a school, I am always fixing toilets, I could strip one down and reassemble it blind folded lol
Send me the address and I’ll post you on your medal

Very good video you covered everything it might be.
All you need to do is change the faulty inlet diaphragm. You dont even need to take everything apart
When the diaphragm perishes, parts of it can block the outlet since its such a small hole. Unblock it and renew the seal.
You're welcome.
This gave more info than the video. The video just tells you how to replace the whole unit.

This is why plumbers are loaded, go the massive long way around before checking the obvious
I don't think you're supposed to use PTFE on plastic fittings...
