Drivers side .You access it through the wheel arch
after removing the access plate...

Thanks Ian
Do you need to remove the wheel or put it on a lock ?
Can you drain the engine oil with the front bash plate in place?

Its easier to access with the wheel off , put some rag under the filter when you remove it as as you unscrew it oil goes every where and collects on the cross member ,,,,then you end up looking for a oil leak that doesn't exist

The sump should be accessable unless you have extra underbody protection


The is how to do a mess free change somewhere on here......
