About Recognising common defects: from steering to tyre: which statements are correct? (multiple answers possible)
A green valve cap on the tyres is a legal requirement.
If a lighting or indicator bulb is broken, a warning automatically appears on the dashboard.
Worn brake pads give a grinding sound while braking; a thumping sound while steering sharply points to a defective CV joint of the drive shaft.
A loose exhaust is heard as a scraping sound while driving; thumping from the front wheel precisely when steering sharply points to the CV joint.
Explanation
Book p.224 - 'You cannot rely on a defective bulb being indicated by a dashboard warning.' Daily checking before departure remains necessary.
