Done now, had to take my car to the local dealership where they tried at first to remove the stuck grommmit with some snipe nosed pliers, then he just pushed it though the bodywork. All this from a helpful mechanic who was standing outside on a ciggy break!! (Some garages aren't just in it to rip you off! I assume it would have just fallen to the ground, so if you have the same problem then a little bit of elbow grease and a push is all you need. After that the isofix seat goes in with a bit of grunting and shoving but not as hard as I'd imagined. It faces up rather than out and the mounting screws can be accessed with your ratchet and an extension without too much damage to the leather.
So for clarity here's the instructions:
1. Go get a star bit - I think it was TX50
2 Remove two bolts holding in the seat in the middle completely - this allows you more access to the grommits
3 Use a snipe nosed pliers and NOT your fingers to pull out the grommits.
4. Put the bracket in facing up
5. Get your bolts located and then push your ratchet and star driver into the mounting bolt and twist until mostly tight
6 do other side then tighten both
7. Do up the two bolts that attach the middle bit holding the seats back to the floor.
8 Throw the plastic "guides" to one side as they seem to serve little purpose...
Thanks to thestumper who emailed me the other article but I'm not sure it was any use
