Ah right, have you removed the small inspection panel from the lower half of the bell hgousing looking from front to back?? Most of the bolts you can get to, however IIRC one of them is a real PITA and you need a universal end or a wobbley end To get on to the bolt!!

Right directly behind the crossmember from the front you can see a small plate attached to the front side of the bell housing you need to remove this

Don't mean to insult your intelligence Adam (but I'm going to anyway sm56), but you know we're talking about the 1.7, right? I've never looked in detail at either, but it sounds very much like you guys are talking about two different engines...

cheers

Both engines layouts are basically the same and both have an inspection plate at the base of the bell housing!!
