Dual flush toilet flush
Discussion
I don't suppose anyone recognises what brand this dual flush unit might be?
I'm trying to avoid having to dismantle the toilet to replace the flush (which has gone seriously stiff - I suspect limescale at play)...and think the flushing part of this might unclip.
If not, will have to figure out how to dismantle the cistern tank - hidden fittings will make that fun I think

Google lens and AI said:
"This appears to be a universal low-level toilet flushing cistern mechanism, often sold under brands like Fominaya or Flomasta.
It is a dual flush valve designed for a push-button mechanism.
The unit is made of white and grey plastic with a red component visible inside the cage structure.
Replacement parts for this type of valve are widely available at DIY retailers"
But this looks like a likely candidate:

Yes, looks like an Ideal Standard compatible one. If it is, it s very easy to replace it.
If you isolate the water/tie up the inlet float , you should be able to remove it easily by turning the whole thing anti-clockwise slightly and lifting it out. The water will drain from the cistern.
You should be able to then check for any markings on the unit.

looks like an Ideal Standard -- possibly SV92667 or similar
They come in different heights but the added complication is that they have been superseded so buying a like for like is not easy.
To remove turn of the water supply grip the outside of the valve and push it down whilst turning anti clockwise.
If you dont push down whilst turning you are likely to break the retaining clips on the "basket" the valve clips into
