I can't find any solution to this problem - the toilet cistern seems to
be a bit too far forward for the seat to stay up.

I've tried altering the position of the fixings (and even lost a double
hole washer down the toilet in the process - and can't find anywhere to
buy a replacement!)

Has anyone else had the same problem and managed to solve it without
raising the cistern?

Is it fouling on the the cistern or the cistern handle?

i.e. the furthest forward part of the cistern may be the handle
(assuming it's on the front) - it is on mine - the handle extends 38mm
out from the cistern.

When I get the time, I plan to replace the handle with something like:

or:

Both of which look as if they extend far less than 38mm. In my case I
reckon that 10mm less would fix the problem.
