No, but I would watch the UHM video again. (But mines worse, its more corroded)
I was actually thinking of buying a cheap toilet and fit it to the shed wall outside (seriously) just so I can see what is actually involved (for me) and could I do it in a few hours.
All the bolts on mine are corroded, so not only will it be fun taking it down, I have to get what ever is in the wall holding the cistern on, out. If I cut it off I will not be able to refix the cistern.
I have just looked, I have got what looks like brass screws holding mine to the wall.(But they look pretty gruuby)

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.

Sadly I think the discoveries on this thread have persuaded me that this is probably a job for a plumber. Given the age of my bathroom fittings I can imagine the job getting pretty horrible in the hands of a novice like me.
Many thanks for all the advice - much appreciated.
