Silly TOAF question
Just used TOAF to diagnose my ABS warning light issue and it has identified the rear left sensor, so the silly question is- is left when in the drivers seat or left when looking at the car from the front?

Have no idea what the cryptic nearside / offside (except ice-hockey) mean but use Toaf quite a lot and it is as in the driver's seat.

Nearside in the UK refers to the nearest side to the kerb.

By definition, the 'left' and 'right' side of a car is relative to the driver's position. That's so whether it's a LHD or RHD vehicle.
'Nearside' and 'Offside' are imprecise terms and depend on which side of the road a vehicle is driven. That also applies to LHD and RHD vehicles. TC Last edited by T-Cut; 3rd November 2019 at 19:19.. |

I remember it like this for us uk right hand drive cars
Near side is passenger side Off side is drivers side Left hand side is passenger side Right hand is drivers side Not sure if this applies to the continental left hand drive cars
