There is not a seal between plastic thing and the pan just a flat to flat joint so I have covered this with plumbers paste and put it all back and wait results, also the the pipe thingy had a lot of hard deposit inside so might have been slowing the flow down.

sounds like a twyford with the plastic accelerator kit as its called.
connects the pan to the cistern.

check the black finned rubber seal that links it to the pan.

My toilets not a Twyford but most close couplingtoilets have 2 butterfly nuts that tighten the units together. Have a look underneath the toilet cistern where it joins the toilet itself, on either side ther should be a bolt attached with whats called a butterfly or winged nut, tighten both the wing nuts as much as you can and that should do the trick.
