oh well 33/35...

35 out of 35, guessed the electric car one (I knew a Civic is petrol but never heard of a BMW i3 but assumed it must be), being a retired engineer helps. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

32 out of 35

Not bad for an amateur tinkerer  Andy
Freelander2 HSE (59 Plate, MY10 spec)

I dont think the person setting the questions was that much of an "car engine expert" as some questions were poorly worded and several "answers" are wrong IMO
The question on torque wrenches is definitely wrong. Its not tigthening to a specific pressure but to a specific torque - very different things.
And Id take issue with the starter solenoid being the answer to what starts the engine. The starter solenoid activates the starter motor which in turn rotates the engine via the flywheel.

Just a bit of fun though.

33/35
I thought honing was to improve the bedding-in of the piston rings and obtain a better seal in the cylinder bore - everyday is a school day. Jules

Probably find those tinkering with spanners are not the best with a command of English ...... runs off, ducking

Especially as it propabbly originated in the USA (re "Headers") ducks and runs Jules

35/35, but like all of you I did it twice.

I'd have got 35 then

My car has one, it appears to be in the front & uses petrol from memory! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
