As a beginner to moderately experienced home car mechanic, I have learnt quite a bit from this book. I have used other study books that I didn't really understand but the Hillier's book helped me so much that I probably wouldn't have passed Motor vehicles level 1 at college. If you are a mechanic wanting to increase your knowledge or a student/potential student then you should not be without this book!

The English is not too complicated which can be an incredibly headache for people who just want to sit and read to catch up but end up with a book that had a sentence within a sentence that digresses mid-sentence. Apart from the fact that it is Americanised: Britain and America have their own terminology regarding the subject, so it can be slightly confusing if you haven't got a lecturer to set you straight. I may supplement my collection with chassis/bodywork technology because I own an elderly Mercedes and it needs periodic maintenance.

The book gets straight to the point with an easy to use index and titled paragraphs I'd recommend this to anyone studying Motor Vehicle Technology at college or even if you just want to learn something new and you don't really need to know a lot about cars to understand this book unlike any other books. This work also provides the depth and breadth of content to support those progressing towards Technical Certificates. Book 1 is also aligned with topics that students will have learned about in earlier stages of study. This edition of Hillier's has been updated and undergone a full-colour revision featuring new photos and illustrations to engage those keen to learn the fundamentals of MVT and enhance their understanding of the core concepts whilst keeping the straightforward approach that is much admired in this authoritative manual.Book 1 is similar to previous editions of Fundamentals of motor vehicle technology, but, with updated information. David Rogers is a dedicated professional with a multifaceted background encompassing Engineering, automotive technology, and technical writing. Plenty of diagrams, cross sectional diagrams and references to the diagrams so you know what you're looking at and also that you know what you're reading if it is describing a difficult-to-explain-without-diagrams part/component or process.

It's actually interesting - you don't need to be training to be a car mechanic to find some sort of appeal. Each edition is well written and, I think, with the car enthusiast in mind as opposed to the professional reader. If, like me, you love cars, but you've always kinda taken the way it works for granted, get this book. The book starts you off with the history of cars and then dives right in with the 1st topic, giving colour pictures and excellent diagrams all described so even a dummy such as myself can get it once you have the basics down experience in the field will take you the rest but it's nice to have a starting block.My only complaint is its a bit too technical for my level, but I can't fairly mark it down for my inaptitude. You don't have to learn everything, but it does teach you information that as a consumer you should know.

ANY question you will encounter on the phase tests or the exams will have an exact answer in this book.
