The hood is front of the car, no? In my country that is called the bonnet. The boot is the storage space I think is called the trunk in US English. I have heard of some cars with their engine in the rear and I don't know if the terms are used the same for them.
Have a friend who drives in to service and says: "It's something under the boot", referring to the
mechanical apparatus of the engine, etc. Don't know if he's correct, I assumed it was the "hood".
