i need to replace a few bricks and repair some cracked mortar in an external (solid) wall. the house is over 100 years old. Will this mortar mix be ok to use?

That typical mortar mix is ok, but is concrete-based which is more suitable for certain applications. Concrete is stiff and very adherent, unlike lime which is more forgiving and generally permits more movement.

Is it an easily visible wall? For mine, I used a colour-matched lime mortar mix which I ordered online.

Yeah, it was the concrete content i was worried about. I wondered how much of an issue it may be.

Where did you get the lime mortar mix from?
