The book has grown again! But then it was always
going to, because automobile electrical and electronic
systems have grown. I have included just a
bit more coverage of basic electrical technology in
response to helpful comments received. This can be
used as a way of learning the basics of electrical and
electronic theory if you are new to the subject, or as
an even more comprehensive reference source for
the more advanced user. The biggest change is that
even more case studies are included, some very new
and others tried and tested – but they all illustrate
important aspects.
There has been a significant rationalization of
motor vehicle qualifications since the second edition.
However, with the move towards Technical Certificates,
this book has become more appropriate
because of the higher technical content. AE&ES3 is
ideal for all MV qualifications, in particular:
All maintenance and repair routes through the
motor vehicle NVQ and Technical Certificates.
BTEC/Edexcel National and Higher National
qualifications.
International MV qualifications such as C&G
3905.
Supplementary reading for MV degree level
course.
The needs of these qualifications are met because
the book covers theoretical and practical aspects.
Basics sections are included for ‘new users’ and
advanced sections are separated out for more
advanced users, mainly so the ‘new users’ are not
scared off! Practice questions (written and multiple
choice) are now included that are similar to those
used by awarding bodies.
