Drain smell

Depends on if you need to use it again. But assuming you don't, get a straight connector with a rodding eys, if you need to use it again you can just remove the rodding eye. Quick solution is to put a rubber glove over the end.

Cold cistern replacement

Purchase a coffin tank or circular one, the circular one can be rolled up onto itself and persuaded to go through a small hole. Not a big job but pipe sizes can be a problem, metric to imperial.
