is the engine off and showing G28?

Hi yes

[Nik0las]

it's on the left side of the gear box upon left driveshaft

I think he means the engine speed sensor on the passenger side of the engine,picks up off the flywheel

[Nik0las]

we have different perspective for passenger side but left side of the car is left side of the car

Hi yes

If the engine is not running, it will always show this fault code.
This is normal operation, nothing is wrong. The fault code will clear once the engine is running.
If your G28 was defect, your car would not run at all.

Someone in Merthyr Tydfill has the same perspective as me though

The sensor above the driveshaft reads the speed of the car not the engine speed

Exactly, and OP said it is G28 error that he sees with the car stationary.

[Nik0las]

you are correct i thought that he is asking for speedo sensor

G4 crank position and G28 engine speed sender info

As others have said, you will always get an "engine speed sensor" (G28) fault code if you pull the codes with the engine not running. For future reference, here is a link to some G28 engine speed and G4 crank position sensor info:
