Once ive set the bootloader up and rebooted, it moves the network 
cards from eth0 and eth1 to eth2 and eth3 (and its just moved them to 
eth4 and eth5 on a new installation!)

What can I do to make sure it comes up as eth0 and eth1 each time?

Delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. It increments the eth* 
device number whenever the mac address changes. I got stung by this on a 
VDS. ;)

Be lucky,
