Note how the cables go on and release the metal clips holding them with needle nose pliers

Remove the cables

Remove old latch completely.

Hold the new latch in about the right place,

Attach cables

Replace metal clips

Screw back into position

Replace surrounding trim.

Cup of tea.
That's really helpful, I hoped it would be something like that but feared the worst. Only one problem that I see - in desperation the other day to try to find a way to lower the seat I attempted to remove the surrounding plastic trim, and managed to break a piece off it so gave up. Any ideas how to safely remove it? I hope that I can glue the broken bit back but otherwise will be trying to source another piece of trim.
