I read the thread regarding the strange clunking sounds and have been experiencing this since I bought the car in 2001.
Replaced the passenger side fuel tank myself and I'm sure that all the bolts to both tanks are tight. Heard mention of bolts behind the drivers seat on the fire wall but can't find them. Can anyone be more specific please.

Scott,

The bolts are visible on the engine bay side of the firewall, you can see one just to the left of the vertical alloy coolant tube which runs next to your AC compressor. The other is partly hidden by the coolant tube. Those on the left side are obscurred by the exhaust cam pulley, but again, the left hand one is partly visible. They are 13mm myloc nuts. Happy Motoring! Jim'85TE
