right i need help on this i need to know what is used (equipment) to check the:-

1) brake fluid
2) battery
3) headlight alignment

cheers craig

for battery, check voltage with ign off, should be between 11-13 V

while cranking check voltage drop, any less thana bout 8V = fooked battery

while running voltage should be >12.5V (approx) usually about 14V

erm if you can get a battery tester, its a big cooled deveice that clamps on to the teminals and tests its condition. but can mess up an iffy battery.

Headlamps-use a guage that they have in all MOT stations
Battery-a hydrometer to check the acidity in the battery, and a mulitmeter and a drop tester.
Brake fluid-just check the level and I think you can use a spectrometer(I think) to test for the water content in the fluid.

If you have any more questions- you can e-mail me. I done the BTEC Motor Vehicle Tech course 3 yrs ago.
