The pin holes will be full of Gawd knows what, 
I wouldn't put me nether regions anywhere near them and I always put the seat down before I flush too....

Got a new washing machine and connected up the hose to cold water connection under sink, made sure it was on, let it do its first wash empty as it says in manual, noticed it spun quietly but no sound of water. about a minute later I heard a few spluttering sounds then what sounded like water going through and I could see it going in and not at a trickle but not pouring in either.

Maybe I am just used to older machines as my last one was about 15 years old and it was quieter than a friends 4 year old one.

Toilet seat is more the edges at front have a few scuffs on it, but at back and front its become discoloured with age (at least 4 years old when I moved here) still works ok but I normally wipe it with a cloth after I use it as it looks discoloured even then it still looks a bit, sort of like very faint nicotine colouring (I don't smoke)

I would just buy a new one but its social housing so the seat is smaller than usual/non standard.

What is the washing machine brand and model please as I want to replace my current one which is too loud

Pause it in the middle of washing cycle and open the door. There has to be visible water inside.

The seat - what is it made of?

You cant open the door in the middle of a cycle.

You could try a mild abrasive cleaner like Jif on the toilet seat. If there's a discoloured area on the underside, test that first.

Not unless he's got a 20 year old bottle hanging around or prefers to use lemon juice instead 😁

It's been CIF for 2 decades now.

Utter Rubbish! It's been about 10 minutes since it changed by my reconing!

Well...&$^"!

Google is notorious for exaggerating how long ago things happened. According to Google it is 25 years since Fred West died, whilst we all know it was much much more recent than that.

Ha ha, its not that part of the seat, its the edge where my legs are and its more minor bumps than actual holes hesitate to call them bumps too. got rid of them mostly with cream cleaner.

Urrghhhh . . . sorry, you've got bumps of stuff on your toilet seat that come off when you clean it? Are you not wondering what on earth those bumps are made of?

Some washing machines are pretty quiet. Put some clothes or tea towels in and see if they come out washed!

(Don't put just one thing in though, or the machine can't balance the load when spinning.)
