Use that lock nut stuff, forget the name now, take out the offending bolts, squirt some locking solution onto them tighten them up and they should never come loose again.

Cheers Thanks for your suggestion I have already tried thread lock but it still managed to vibrate loose. Are there meant to be more than 2 retaining bolts if so i can only see two from undreneath the car.

Use some STRONG thread lock it does come in various strengths. Clean the threads of the bolts with thinners or petrol before applying it and then tighten up fully.
