Yes, I know this picture is from a site offering a new toilet seat, but
what I need is the cistern/tank and tank lid (the originals have
cracked, so V&B isn't all it's cracked up to be....)

Is there any place to buy those bits of possibly expensive ceramic
on
their own, or a plausible compatible?
I could of course just buy a whole new bowl and cistern from B&Q,
but
then it would be the odd-one-out in the house.

You might find that you can get the V&B parts you want (at a sensible
price) from www.megabad.com ... their prices and service are excellent,
plus they will correspond in English.

It looks like they are selling mainly new complete units (and not many
of them WCs), not spares for 20yr old ones. But thanks for the link.
