tbourner Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I cannot recommend enough the following book: Hillier's Fundamentals of Motor Vehicle Technology. ISBN: 0-7487-8082-3 It's the first book, there will be a second book coming out later this year I think which is more electronics related whereas this one is mechanical stuff. My mate suggested I buy it because apparently it's the bible. And he was right it's brilliant - I knew nothing really about cars when I bought the supe, this forum has taught me loads but I got this book for Christmas and now I feel like I know so much more!!! And now I keep seeing threads about various things where the answers are clear to me now!!! If you know nothing or very little about engines and cars in general - GET THIS BOOK!!!! Even if you know quite a bit it's a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Please don't buy this book if you ask as many questions as Trev now does............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARDA Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yes, it is indeed the bible, I am studying a 2 year National Diploma in Vehicle repair and Technology (after giving up my previous career) and its our course book. We use the 5th edition which is the latest. Book two, for electrics is due any day. Good reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARDA Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 You won't regret it, I have one sitting right next to me, the 5th edtion has a nice pic of a Dodge Viper (SRT 10) V10 engine on it. Mine was about £17.00, that was through the college though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
