apparently a can of coke tipped down and left overnight
or limescale remover spray and leave that overnight

You could try putting some white vinegar and leave overnight. Will need to be scrubbed afterwards though, at least with a toilet brush!

ok... says to sprinkle washing soda crystals in and leave over night to break up limescale

apparantly you can buff away stubborn bits of limescale from porcelain loo using a pumice stone, but that obviously means its a hand down the loo job

hope it helps
