You're less likely to need DC current but even meters costing as little as £6.99 come with a 10 amp range. Eliminate any which cannot read above 200mA.

If you'd like to expand upon the electrical problems you wish to tackle, I might be able to advise further.

Afternoon Simon,
I achieved a B in A Level Physics 50 years ago but my memory is failing me know!
I need to brush up on ohms, amps and volts!
Problems - A battery drain problem on a 75, windscreen/headlight pump problem on a 75 and an electric window problem on an MGTF.
Anyway working on a budget of around £50 any thoughts?
Regards David
