Just done some basic maths.

The pan I'm buying is 360mm wide, meaning it's centre line will be at 180mm. It will be fitted towards one side of the vanity unit and there is a 250mm wide cupboard between the vanity and the wall. That means the centre line of the pan will be ~430mm from the wall.

The current pan is centred in a space ~720mm wide, putting it's centre line at ~360mm.

Assuming I don't have to re design, I will need to move the pan by 70mm.
 
Pictures being worth more than words, this is what is currently installed... Sorry about the dust.

The first 3 appear to be upside down. Sorry about that.

Absolutely replace branch it's got no fall and pipe inside is in a bad state
 
Thats the beauty of having the unit, it gives you the means and distance to move your waste slightly,
 
That inside pipe looks like an extension piece and will therefore be of a "rubbery" material. It has to be replaced anyhow as it is perished.
The proper way to move the toilet slightly is to have the outside junction angle slightly and a slightly angled m&f bend fitted into it to straighten the pipe through the wall. You only need hole around junction made bigger.
It might just be possible to use 2 offset bends from inside though and worth going to a builders merchant to see hands on what would adapt.
But I guess a flexi from wall might be easy choice if you are happy

Thanks.

Obviously I'll know better when the new pan gets here, it's coming with a flexi connector anyway. So we'll see.

That's not until match though.
