Mission impossible. On a mark one the water tank lowers down between the toilets. This view of the tank on a mark 2 shows the metal channel support holding the tank up. Directly underneath is the toilet, so how on earth do you remove this tank.

This is the roof corner, the holes bottom left are where the water from the gutter enters the internal drain pipe. The dark bandage is a previous attempt to stop water entering. Just to the right of it is a hole which has rotted through. The only solution... take the lot off!
