I've promised to give Rob an Ex-RAC Transit when he passes his test.......

That's how negative I feel about him wasting his money!

i was thinking the black wich is on the left would go from there to the engine bay nut and bolt!

and the red one from right on the battery to the starter motor like the other side red cable does

But the negative lead has a battery terminal clamp on one end and a ring terminal on the other and the positive lead has a ring terminal on both ends. :?

Mine is wired battery to battery in 10mm copper cable and has never given any trouble, the cable to the starter motor from the original battery is easily capable of carrying the current.
I think you will struggle to reach the starter from the passengers side as your lead is only 42", I might be wrong?

MrMPuk is right , you will need another battery terminal to connect your red lead up properly.
