Hi chaps, I need to find one of the above for an old lady. She fell on old one and cracked it but, she cannot afford a whole new one
 
Try brokenbog.com, they have lots of old coloured stuff, send em a pic and they try to match it up, not cheap though, probably be cheaper to fit a new complete cheap one instead!
 
Is she insured? I've generally found it's cheaper to but a complete suite than a discontinued colour.
 
Used to know a place in london but cost was very high, and insurance Co dont like paying for them, want you to put in white, Have a look round local tips etc might get luck'y When you say green do you mean avocado ?
 
Yes avocado. Wow, ok I shall have to ask her about a new suite then. Thanks fellers
 
Will i be able to fit a new 6 ltr external cistern to the old flush pipe or are they different sizes
 
should be the same size. you could get a new flush pipe a well to make sure.
 
You can but may not get right flush pattern for pan, was told you need to replace the complete suite as they are designs'd to work togeather , as B4 have a look round local tip etc may pick one up for a couple of ÂŁ even try ebay !
 
Well I put a cheap plastic one in for now and told them they will need to update bathroom as all parts for old sanware is really expensive. They said they would like a new bathroom in September. Bingo! Also, the toilet seemed to work fine I could not check with my stools as the client was there but, I wacked a load of toilet paper in and it cleared it fine.

Thanks for the advice guys
