Book 1 is similar to previous editions of Fundamentals of motor vehicle technology, but, with updated information. It gives you detailed information on how vehicle components work and what they are for, without getting too complicated. The exams for any of the IMI qualifications in Britain are written to the material given in this book. This book is brilliant for students, teachers or anyone who is taking up a career in motor vehicle mechanics. 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.Otherwise mechanics can take advantage of you - if you don't know what a spark plug is, and does, you can be taken to the cleaners by a shady mechanic! 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!

I own several incomplete editions of this famous 'Hilliers Fundamental of Motor Vehicle Technology' book series, spanning at least a couple decades, maybe longer. I bought the Haynes Manual for my MX5 with the real intention of carrying out work but could not penetrate it's language.I may supplement my collection with chassis/bodywork technology because I own an elderly Mercedes and it needs periodic maintenance. Not only does it give you the fundamental basics but it also takes you to the maths and science behind everything.
