I can't find any solution to this problem - the toilet cistern seems to be a

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?

Solutions for toilet seat won't stay up

1. Attach a flat magnet to the underside of the seat.
2. Attach a ferromagnetic metal to a short string attached to a hook attached to the side of the cistern. I used a tablecloth weight as sold by Lidl/Aldi. lift the seat and attach the metal to the magnet.
or attach a cord around the cistern or to a hook on the side of the cistern and adjust it with one of those spring tighteners you find on waterproof jackets and hold the seat up with a loop of cord thus: sorry pictures don't appear here.
5.

Don't you think that Gareth might have solved his problem in the last 8
1/2 years?

Strange suggestions too, unless 5) was a placeholder for the spam
payload.

"english.with.gailgoldi" appears to be posting from Spain, so perhaps
he is more used to a hole-in-the-ground.
