Screw it onto the thing it fits onto.Turn it, and when the hiss stops and the water starts, turn it back off again.
Easy.

Right.Turn off, find the right shape on the highest radiator - or the one furthest from the boiler - turn. KEEP THE KEY ON THE SHAPE!
You'll hear a lot of air hissing and that's what you're getting rid of. As soon as the hiss turns to bubble and water starts coming out turn back.

Don't knowI'd offer to pop over and have a look but I'm busy the next three weekends.
If it's not pissing water out of the overflow it's not serious.
A quick fix might be giving the elbow joint off the handle a blast with WD40.

Don't waste your moneyThere's not much that can go wrong with a cistern.
I can't quite understand why it's doing what it's doing unless it's not filling properly until the water pressure rises.
Take the lid off, give it a few flushes and see if the mechanism works smoothly.

So the ballcock isn't sitting right.Again, WD40 is your friend.
Turn the main stopcock off, flush the bog and give all the moveable joints a good blast.
Give it 30 minutes, turn the stopcock on again and see what happens.

Dur the receiver will be at the top, generally right hand side, you'll note that it's triangle shapedAs a female you may still not be able to find it though.

May not be triangularDepends on the age of the system.
Squares, triangles and hexagons but a 4 ended key should fit anything.

You'll find a hexagonal bit at the top of the radiator.
Go to the highest radiator in your house and bleed that first.

And the best thing about radiator keys?Depending on the type of toilets you have in work, you might be able to lock it from the outside, meaning if you coordinate your trips to the toilet so you get there just after the cleaners leave, you can lock a trap from the outside and have your own, private WC.
