Not sure why you ar eposting as you seem to have answered your own question. I would have done exactly as you have suggested. I can't think of any other way.

Use a drain connector as seen here

Other option is to use a rubber joint with jubilee clips

As the pipe is set into the floor i presume you will be cutting it back to allow for a close coupled set, Old pans tend to have the soil pipe a foot from the wall

i dont bother digging any holes. just cut off at ground level (or nearly).
before angle grinders, we used to used hammer and a chisel. nerve wracking work.
one wrong move and the whole thing broke, in the wrong places.

dont forget to stick a load of newspaper down the hole before you start. tie some string to it just in case.

then you can pull it all out, along with any debris.

Hi Andy, yes the clay to plastic adaptor is what you need not the rubber thing in the first link as the smell gets through. Speak to our suppliers 0121 311 2666 mention docmatt and you will get one of those next day for a tenner all in

Utter rubish, If they leak then they would not be BBA approved

Both can be bought by non-trade for less than a tenner at B&Q

The jubilee clip clay to plastic adaptor can be tightened dead tight which is why I prefer them.

We'll agree to disagree

You will never get a Fernco joint to pass a drain test, Have had plently of experience with Edinburgh Council and we will always remove and bung/bag

Overtightening them usually strips the jubilee or cracks the pipe
