Under the bonnet

mcgraw

hi all,

Just wondering if your allowed to initial the bits and pieces under the bonnet to remember what they are? only one of mine is marked but the others arent. i know theres not to many to remember but my test is tomorrow and i'll probably go completely brain dead, thats if im even able to open the bonnet!! :mad: hope this isnt a silly question! :cool:

thanks

ntlbell

would it not be easier to memories them?

like what ones do you have problems with?

mcgraw

hi ntlbell

oh i suppose your right but i'll probably get them all mixed up!!!!!!!
fingers x!

Not you again, McGraw...

Every engine bay has a different layout, you should pop past a mechanic and he will help you. Or tell us what car you have or post a snap and we can do some labelling. There isn't any secret to it and you can be sorted in an hour so there's no need to worry.

mcgraw

what do you mean me again?!!!!!!

a friend of mine will be going through them all with me later but just in case i go blank tomorrow!!!!!!! :cool:

all i wanted to know is are you allowed to mark them or not?!

beerbaron

Most, if not all, will have diagrams on them already. you just need to remember what the diagram means.

mcgraw

thanks bearbaron

thanks anyway. i'll study them 2nite :D:D

cantdecide

They also might ask you how might you check the oil/ water/ break fluid etc. but don't worry, again, it's not complicated.

mcgraw

There's usually little picture things on the reservoirs isn't there?

Just to clarify, dont go sticking anything on the various components under the bonnet, it could be a fire hazard. Just go over them tonight, it's nothing to worry about really. Best of luck.

Hi,

Why ever not. ? Seen a few using tippex. Big B on the cap of the Brake fluid, etc etc Makes them stand out. One thing less to worry about

Have you seen the excellent guide on here :-Technical Checks and test questions.

Or the original where I have added some additional info Driving Test Technical Car Checks

Best of Luck
