I need to shift our toilet forward a couple of inches so that the seat will stay up , its too close to the cistern & also slightly overhanging the pan when in the 'down' position(no its not adjustable enough). Can I just lock the ballcock in position before draining the cistern or will I have to drain the tank in the loft?

i take it it's a low level toilet system.
you can move the pan foreward but you may then find the flush pipe is to
short to stay in the rear of the pan.

Yes, the flush pipes going to be a tad short.
Ive tried wedging the stopvalve lever up & it seems to do the job, d'you reckon Ill be ok with that? Cheers

you don't need to drain the cistern just don't flush it while disconnected.
get a new flush pipe then move the toilet.
and check the waste pipe at the rear of pan can be moved or that won't reach.
