    I'm looking for websites where I can learn about the major components on modern cars, how they work etc ?

    does anybody know of any such sites. preferably ones that are in English and not Jargon. and have lots of diagrams/pictures

    Try this- www.howstuffworks.com

    There's some car stuff on there (particularly a good bit on turbos), as well as NOS, bhp, torque, relationship of bhp to torque, Bugatti Veyron, Enzo.....and a bunch of other car stuff - as well as just a bit of other non-car stuff!

    yeh, I've got a fair idea. but they seem to use the american names for the different parts

    I was specifically looking for suspension and engine components.

    did you have any other sites in mind Ste ?
