How do I get rid of limescale in my toilet?

We have recently developed brown limescale in our en-suite toilet. Never had it before. I usually use Harpic or Domestos.
We have tried draining the toilet and putting in Coca Cola and white vinegar neither of which have touched it.
Any suggestions?

Hydrochloric acid. It's the very best, and you only need a cup full. Not now sold to the great unwashed, but just get a tradesman to get you some.
Hardware stores stock the gentler version, called Spirit of Salts, but you might need two bottles (about £3.00 each when a bought it a few months ago).
Both are very nasty to use, stink to high heaven, but get the job done once and for all.
