just checked, there is no allen key holes in these boltts, there just the same as the top bolts although they are facing to opposite way..
They look like 14mm bolts.

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
), 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...

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