what has happened is that your dizzy drive is 180 degrees out. simply means someone has turned your dizzy round to fit.

My engine came with drive wrong way round but i removed it and put it other way round.

Haynes and Wiki are both saying the same thing.

When they're talking about front right, the front of the engine is the end that's closest to the front of the van (and closest to the gearbox and your back seat etc), not the end that's closest to your rear bumper.
