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?
Hello David and thanks for your reply.

Ohms law was more the preserve of the 'O' level syllabus I seem to recall but congratulations on your impressive pass at 'A' level.

I agree with your plans to choose something in the middle of the price range. The 10 amp DC current range will be useful for the electric window and battery drain investigation.

The only additional comment I can add having read the other replies is that I would probably avoid an "auto ranging" device in favour of manual selection. A good meter will have overload protection and it's preferable, in my view, to retain control of what the meter is doing.
