About Legtc

What this publication does

Legtc explains cars from the inside. Each article takes one system, part or signal of the car, says what it does and what it connects to, and ends with the everyday care that follows from it. The first subject is the instrument cluster and its warning lights; the next ones will go through the rest of the car with the same method.

Who it writes for

It writes in English for adults who drive in any country, in cars of any make and age. It does not assume a maker or a market: when something depends on the model, it says so and tells you where to check, usually in your car’s manual.

How it works

• It starts from sources that hold in every market: technical standards, makers’ manuals and reference technical documentation, cited in each article with the date they were consulted.
• It draws its own figures, as technical drawing sheets: numbered parts, exploded views and diagrams, without photographs or brands.
• It keeps a clear line between what you can do, such as checking the tyre pressures, and what belongs to a qualified mechanic.
• It corrects and updates its articles when it finds an error or a fact that has changed, and records the date of the update.

Who publishes it

It is an independent publication: Legtc edits and publishes it on its own, with no maker, garage or advertiser deciding what it explains or how it draws it. It runs on advertising, which always appears labelled and kept apart from the articles; the advertising page gives the details. To write to the team, use the address contacto@legtc.me.
