I need to move the petrol tank slightly to get at the light cluster, but theres nothing on the tank at all in my Haynes manual. Is it just a case of loosening the nuts on the strap holding it and moving?

Yep that's it. Don't forget to take your fuel cap off so that you can pull the filler neck through the hole! Stick it back on once you've got it through to prevent any spillages :)

Have the tank as empty as possible, makes it that bit easier.

also watch out you dont go near the battery or best take it out, a boot full of fuel vapour and a spark will mean you wont have eyebrows left
