Take out flush valve (twist and lift)
Clean washer and seating replace washer if needed.

Thanks. Do I need to stop / remove the water first?

Also I did try to twist but it didn’t budge. I’ll try a bit harder next.

Siamp optima 49 will only twist one way have a look on the carriage for the stops and there should be an opening on one side twist while holding the bottom carriage that way

You will need a new washer prob bubbled

Check and replace the wax ring under the toilet, tighten tank bolts, and inspect for cracks. Also, examine the water supply valve. If issues persist, consult a plumber for further assistance.

OP is in UK. No wax ring under toilet here, and different flush valve arrangement. Not helpful.
Are you a bot?

Look to be the washer. It seems it’s 2 1/4 inch. I can’t seem to find one online. Any ideas where in the uk I can obtain and what I should search for online? Thanks
