That last time I had to deal with one of these it was because the mechanism the air was activating had stiffened up AND the hoses were really long. So air was being compressed instead of actually activating the mechanism. I freed up the mechanism and shortened the hoses and it worked. Yours don't look too long though, so this is probably not much help.

Is there any way of replacing this pneumatic shite with something which actually works properly without having to replace the whole flush mechanism? At the moment it's necessary to 'pump' the buttons a couple of times, which I'm sure shouldn't be necessary.
The actuators come off easily enough, but I can't find any alternative to the air-operated rubbish. Would be happy to replace the flush plate, but don't think that gets me anywhere.
It's all Ideal Standard Conceala 2 kit. There's a replacement kit for the offending parts but I'm not sure the current ones are actually faulty rather than just rubbish.
