Well just got back from Manchester today after sitting my Tech interview this morning. Must say it went ok apart from the internet connection going down a few times. I answered all questions with as much detail as possible. He asked me about repairing and rebuilding starters, alternator etc and I was honest and told him that in our day and age we replace rather than repair due to getting downtime to a minimum so I have very little knowledge in this apart from 15 year ago in college. I think I done ok and the secret is giving answers in depth which helped a lot as although the topic was about eg. stability control I also covered yaw control and brake pressures along with EBS etc which made us skip quite alot of slides but the results will tell all in 10 days time.

Ok, I now have to do a tech interview on Diesel Motor Mechanic (Heavy Commercial Vehicle) at Manchester next month. I've looked at the common units they ask.

Engines and fuel

Steering and suspension

Braking

Trans and drivelines

Batteries and electrical systems.

So I've done fitting for over 20 years now but have never been put to the test. I run my own business fitting and have done for 10 year +. Would like to know what kind of Q's get asked. on the units I'm not to good on.

Engines and fuel = Confident

Steering and suspension = Confident

Braking = V confident

Trans and drivelines = Unsure

Batteries and electrical systems.= Unsure.
