Yep! Is it an early or late car? Judging by your username it'll be a late one! :)

If so, just take out the rear seat base, remove the black cover (4 screws) Then it's pretty intuitive how it comes out (that is to say I can't remember exactly but it's easy!) :thumb:

Not rocket science unless you're smoking at the time!

One small, but important thing you've all missed out.
It won't come out the hole unless you undo the four small nuts and lift the fuel level sender out first!
