Engine Earth Lead Location

Gents,
I had a bit of an oil leak from the cam shaft covers and am cleaning up the old oil in the engine bay.
As good practise, I was going to check the engine earth/ground connection but can't seem to find it. Part No LBN3740AA looks all shiney braided silver but I can't see it anywhere.
If anyone is under the bonnet this weekend, can you please take a pic to show me where this is?

Franks tip. Make sure you REALLY clean the surfaces its going on. My engine would not start and I had to have the car towed to a garage as the mechanic just bolted the new earth strap on without cleaning the mounting surface. Above is the very strap and how it was originally fitted.
Take a look at the hassle this simple fault caused me. Click here please.
