    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.

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

    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
