How to get access to a Grohe Concealed Cistern

[daveeyes]

Hello,

A small amount of water in the toilet in my bathroom runs continuously down the back of the pan. I am assuming a seal needs replacing.
I am having difficulties accessing the cistern though as it is concealed under a worktop.

I have attached a couple of photos.




Any advice on how to get into the cistern would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

the panel with the button on should pull off or lift up slightly the pull off depending on the clips used

As above the slim panel will come forward using a slim screwdriver, have one hand ready so the panel doesn`t fall as there are tubes connected to the cistern valve. See if you can pull the tubes off the button and put panel to one side then behind is a (Blue?) plastic panel giving access inside the cistern to isolate the incoming water. Hope you don`t have massive hands as access to the cistern valve is tight.

Thanks for the reply.
I have just tried to move the panel but it seems fairly well fixed and I don't want to use too much force.

Just ease it, work one side then the other.
