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.
It's not as Lee said at all. As describing the location of an individual item from a different view point to aid you finding it is totally different to what side of the car it's on. Ie the front left hand side wing of a 206 is in the same position on the car wherever you are in the world. Where as describing it as off side it's location would be dependent on where the cars being driven at the time.

I'm orthodox & it's definitely confusing training southpaws or taking people on the pads, but left is still left & right is still right. Soon learn as it can be painful when you call for a left (from your view point) & it comes from your right..

1) It is as Lee said.
2) The reason I asked in the first place was because in the Haynes manual
there are references to both sides as Left or Right depending on what job is done and wether it is looking at the engine bay or sat in the seat.
3) I still don't know what the hell Outer side/Near side means in whatever part of the world, and what it describes. Near what? Driver? Passenger?

Author: greg.mitchell350, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 6:32 am ---- describing positions on cars is very confusing. now i consider the left hand side of the car to be the drivers side. i know thats confusing but you judge it as when you are stood infront of the car looking at it. i cant say that is the 'peugeot way' as i have never worked in their main dealers but it is the BMW way and i would of thought it would of been kept as an industry standard

It's a UK manual though, so it is based on RHD//LHT
So what I said is right regards to o/s and n/s
