I'm a bit late on this but you should be able to find some appropriate acid in a janitorial supply shop.  The stuff I used involved emptying the water out of the pan so that it's dry (a sponge is a big help) and tipping the whole bottle in an leaving it - several hours if need be.  If you ensure that all limescale is covered, it diddolves it without much effort at all.  Be warned though that it is a gloves and goggles job.

I use Premier Products and TD10 usually does the trick and takes 8 Minutes to treat.  You can leave it longer but watch out you do not want to etch the porcelin.  I have used TD10 on some pretty tough jobs and it always seems to do the job.

Cheers

Mick,
Have you tried Clovers Acid Wash 80,
www.cloverchem.co.uk/uk/index_uk.htm

Used to use it on paving but not strong enough, but for toilets etc it works.
