Which side ???

when these parts places quote "left hand" and "right hand" are they sat in vehicle or looking at vehicle from front ??

which is drivers side ??

think i might start a new thread

"stoopid things that freebe owners say"

tis gonna be full very quickly

Not a stupid question when its bloody freezing, you have your car on axle stands waiting for a part then they send you the wrong side !!!

Some places quote left and right from inside car and others from outside looking at front!!

Just making point that it would be simpler if they quoted either near and off or passenger and drivers etc !!!!

ok i believe ya

Somewhere in Rave it says 'sat in the vehicle looking forward'

'Near or off' is not a good idea, confusing with LHD as its wrong.

It's industry standard to quote left and right as sat in drivers seat. Anyone that quotes from outside looking back at the vehicle is a dick.....

confusing? offside is always offside and nearside is always nearside... the kerb that is

Nathan, offside is always offside and nearside is always nearside... the kerb that is
But the nearside becomes the off side when I cross the channel or dont you bother!

You have an odd way of looking at things vic.

if you cross the channel in you own motor 'its' nearside remains unchanged it's just not next to the curb when you drive over there.

nearside is the left in the UK. In the extremely unlikely event of ordering parts for LHD car here in the UK then you would obviously be more careful with terminology.
