#1: Off side / Near side? Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 2:57 am ---- When Haynes refers to 'Left' side, I seem to recall that would be the driver's side (for RHD, UK vehicle) or 'Outer side' as you call it.
Anyone confirm? Last edited by V9977 on Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:06 am; edited 1 time in total

So drivers side o/s for you

Is it left as you are sat in the car, or left as you look at it from the front

banboots is correct, the left hand side of the car is the left hand side of the car no matter what way you look at it

So if someone said to you "the battery is on the right hand side of the engine" you'd look where the ECU was? I think not

Looking at the manual now, it says 'xxxxx of the engine compartment' when it refers to looking from the front.
Otherwise, it's as Lee said.
P.S. This should be stickied.

They wouldn't say that though, as it isn't.
#12: Re: Which is 'Left side' in Haynes? Author: paul_c, Location: UKPosted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 5:25 am ---- You'll come across loads of problems if you refer to left as right, simply because you're looking at the car (engine bay) from the front looking towards the rear!!!
For example, if I stood at the side of the engine bay looking in, I might describe the radiator as being to my left and the scuttle to my right. But If I stood the other side.....
#13: Re: Which is 'Left side' in Haynes? Author: paul_c, Location: UKPosted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 5:25 am ---- Gets even more confusing if you're working underneath the car looking up.....
#14: Re: Which is 'Left side' in Haynes? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 5:27 am ---- Generally speaking you refer to body panels and the inside of the car as n/s = left, o/s = right
With the engine is n/s= right, o/s = left, as you look at the engine from the opposite perspective
