I have just taken the rear n/s wheel off.
It looks as though the calliper is seized; the disc is completely destroyed,
metal filings everywhere!
So unless someone can get my callipers rebuilt and new rear discs, pads and
shoes fitted by Friday I'm not going to be at the meet. :-(

What is a n/s wheel please?

"n/s" =3D "Near Side", meaning the side nearer the edge of the road or the
left in the UK and the right in La Belle France.

Why not do you say just "left or right"???

Benoit,
Because for us on this side of the ditch what's left for you is not
right for us :)

Oh now the guy that is just silly! We both have left and right hands,
non? I have been at England two times, you can not fool me! :)

Yes, but English people have the left and right sides of their brains
swapped relative to French people - have you not noticed this? It
explains many things ...
Seriously I have no idea why we say "near side", we just do. And to make
it worse the other side is called the "off side".
Sorry: maybe it is part of some infernal plot to confuse non-native
English speakers.

Hi,
The near side of the vehicle is a reference to the road side that
is closest, so the near side is the left and the off side (away, or
far side would sound better) is the right. This terminology comes from
the early days of motoring in the UK.

I quote:
"Left side and right side. "Near wheel" means that to the coachman's left
hand; and "near horse" (in a pair) means that to the left hand of the
driver. In a four-in-hand the two horses on the left side of the coachman
are the near wheeler and the near leader. Those on the right hand side of
the coachman are "off horses." This, which seems an anomaly, arose when the
driver walked beside his team. The teamster always walks with his right arm
nearest the horse, and therefore, in a pair of horses, the horse on the left
side is nearer than the one on his right."

But the meaning of left or right depends on which way you are looking at the
vehicle.
Saying nearside or offside leaves no doubt ;-)
Pete

For me LHS / RHS on an engine is looking down the engine from flywheel to
pulley. Doesn't work with transverse but they are perverse anyway.

For people closer to the sea, and boats, it's natural to use starboard and
port.
That really leaves no doubt.
