Sump guard / tank guard

I'm considering fitting a tank guard. .and maybe a sump one too - I can only see mantec megabucks ones, but wondered if anyone knew of other suppliers, or had tried to negotiate on a group buy?

Cheers

I'll have a look around - don't suppose you could scan the instructions please? - if they are simple fixings I can sort that quite easily from work Cool 2000 Xei 1.8 gone

From what I remember when fitting the Tank guard there are two nuts welded onto small plates which need to be poked down a box section so that bolts can be screwed through an existing hole into that box section. It took me ages to try to line up the nut with the hole until I worked out I could put a cable tie around the nut and use the tail of the cable tie to jiggle the nut into position. If anyone's thinking of fitting one of these that's my top tip Smile

If anyone would have the instructions on how to fit the tank guard I'd be very grateful. Got one sh from eBay (including brackets which is very rare) but obviously no instructions. Much obliged if anyone who has the instructions would post them here somewhere. MY2011, TD4 Auto, Xenon headlights, fog lamps DRLs, sunroof, tinted windows, almond electric seats w/ lumbar support, leather steering wheel w/ audio controls, dog/luggage guard, ambient lights, flush Whispbars, Mantec sump&tank guards, Xtrons Head Unit

Hello
I not got instructions, but from memory the rear mounts the 3 hole bracket is on the left rear
Front just slide the nut plates in , line up hole with a screw driver or something small
Fit the guard lose jake up the guard till the back mounts are tight to bottom of car then do up all bolts etc
Hope this helps 😃

Well I managed to source a second hand mantec sump guard... looks the business, both aesthetically and mechanically - only problem its a pre 07 version - I did consider grinding off the fixings and reweld them in the correct place, but I think it will be shortly for sale when I come to my senses!!! 2000 Xei 1.8 gone
