Customer Reviews

Initially daunting but ultimately fulfilling!
I needed to know how cars worked at a relatively high level, without very much prior knowledge. After several weeks in intensive care following an initial scan of the book when it arrived (loads of formulas/graphs/unfamiliar diagrams etc!), I summoned up the courage to start from the beginning. I was pleasantly surprised to find clear and precise descriptions and definitions of all of a motor vehicle's components, complete with detailed info on how they co-operate. The book is very well laid out, littered with helpful "artists-impression" type diagrams and I was surprised how much I picked up in a short space of time. However, this book is supposed to be a reference manual not an idiot's guide, so if your background isn't in physics and you haven't any previous knowledge of motor vehicles (like me!) prepare for a challenge! . (But it's worth it)

Extremely detailed
This book is more suited as a text book rather than a light read.

It book is more suited for students who are studying a relative subject in automotive engineering.

This book is packed full of technical reference, with illustrations. It is an ideal reference book.

The content within this book will require basic previous knowledge in automotive engineering to really benefit from this title.

Every single aspect of a motor car is explained in this book, the latest edition will cover the most up-to-date technology within a motor car.
