does the fuel tank spread all the way across the back of the seats on a 406 ?

garage says they have had to remove tank. exhaust to get to the seatbelt bolt ...

yup it does ithink,
but they might be able to get away with just lowering one side of the tank,

Not sure, but sounds credible. Seem to recall the C5 tank running across the car. I take it they're still going to stand by their original quote of £45 though?

Have a look here:

Certainly looks like it follows the contours of the panel under the seats.

cheers guys.

waue that answers my question. impossible to get to this without removing tank. what he did was remove the panel that the nut was fixed to . this panel is pop rivited on. they removed the rivets and welded a new nut onto it. put the panel back under the fuel tank so i can screw a new bolt in the top .
i now have a D9 bolt holding it down to make it more secure he put 3 more bolts in the panel he took off. so now there are 3 odd looking bolts under my seat

i know for a fact exhaust has been off because it now sounds hollow like its blowing now

they charged me £50. i said you have to be joking you told me £45 max.

but to be honest i do not care about the cash. my 7 year old son sits there and his safety is pricless

but all in all its cost me a total of £85 to change my seatbelts from grey to black
i'm stopping doing stupid silly jobs now that dont even need doing

Sounds sensible Gaz, but don't get too depressed about the cost. Just remember that the interior only cost £65 to start with - mine cost £250 & I still need to replace the rear seat bottoms with non-rust enhanced ones!
