Hi, please could someone advise if it possible to change the inlet pipe for a toilet cistern from existing r/h side over to the l/h side ? I've seen new loo I like but as usual the inlet is on the left....Im struggling to find a loo that can also accommodate a r/h side soil pipe too ! I have a choice of the following :-

I think you'd need to look in the cistern in question. Does it have a blocked outlet on the left ? If the ad details don't say you'll have to go look or ask. You may find one with a base entry.
As you can imagine, Popple, I'm sure there are some. I've fitted both types many times. We usually have to go with what we're given.

Altering the plumbing is the usual way. If you can't do that for some reason, maybe use a long flexible connector...............

It might be difficult to make it look acceptable though.

As for the outlet, most WC pans have a "straight out" spigot. Just use a 90 degree pan connector...........

There are loads of them, even flexible ones.
