    Personally, i like how it is now!
    Bit of attention to detail and its a done.

    After all, what else is there to do with Tooheys New, apart from pour it down the toilet

    Don't forget that that dunny repair won't work after the 21st October, so you'd better get cracking!

    If its only the Lid and/or seat, they are easy to get and replace mostly in Plastic but you can go very upmarket and really have a Seat to be proud to sit on.
    Their generally held in place by 2 wing nuts on a coarse thread that is easy to undo and tighten by hand, in fact other than using a pair of pliers, most dont have that space to use a spanner etc and the plastic isnt overly strong either.

    The porceline bit has me curious as I cant remember seeing a seat or lid made in that as it so easy to break.
    If its the cistern, thats a big problem getting a lid depending on where the Flush controls are as they vary considerably and not made any more.
    I had a problem with the float etc and I intended to buy a new cistern and replace the lot but when I priced it, it was almost cheaper to buy both Pan and Cistern so I went for a new Universal float system instead.

    Ok, I have to ask, what happens after the 21st of October ????

    AHHHHHH, it all becomes clear now but when I asked about the date, the picture didnt display for some reason at the time.
    Most likely thats a 'Corona' brand cistern but they dont exist anymore, another OZ company gone O/seas !!

    Farts that can cause that amount of damage make you glad you were not nearby at the time.
