Ours have just failed for the second time in 8 years. I'm now looking for a new toilet seat with properly engineered hinges. The problem is that the hinges are simple L shaped steel rod through a thin steel mounting plate and just peened over. There is no adjustment for height to compensate for any imperfections in the toilet bowl, and insufficient strength in the hinge mount to allow for a seat that doesn't sit exactly evenly on the two pads at the front. As discussed above the cost of replacements are ridiculous as two new hinges are almost the same as a complete new seat. Can anyone recommend a more robust seat? Re: Caroma Pressalit toilet hinge - $$$$$$ 11Oct 10, 2010 9:09 am My Caroma Caravelle 2000 hinges broke the other week, the price from Reece in Sydney is $145 a pair, this is outrageously expensive. The guys behind the counter just laughed at me when I suggested the price must be a mistake. If anyone knows where to buy cheaper replacements, I will be eternally grateful. Regards Rod...

I think it is on a Reflection suite, or at least that is what is written under cistern lid. Mine is Ivory so replacement seat options are limited and wife did not like the plastic alternative I found at Bunnings. I did find this http://www.firstclasswetrooms.co.uk/pre ... 23sep.html and http://www.pressalit.com/NR/rdonlyres/9 ... 000_UK.pdf. Both of which look very similar, for that price I am tempted to see if they will ship to Aus. Looks like it is an OEM product from Pressalit, the hinge being a Pressalit BN3.

There are a few fro sale on Ebay UK site under the name of "L-Shaped hinge" they look like they will fit and at about $12AU, unfortunately they also do not post to Australia, have left the sellers messages to request postage.
