I'm happy with how to change a door (internal) but am a bit unsure as to how to go about replacing the door frame - any good sites?

To remove the door frame, you need a hammer and a bolster. Frames are nailed on unless someone has decided to screw it on. Just place the bolster behind the frame and bang it in with a hammer all the way up and lever it away. To replace the frame, you can buy them ready made at a builders merchant.

If you are not a D I Y man then don`t attempt it, it`s easy enough to get the old frame off, but it leaves and looks a hell of a mess, to put a new frame back on would mean packing & shimming to ensure it is even, you may also have to plaster round it if damage occured when you took the old one off. My advice is get a joiner to do it.
