[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 549809, member: 13534"] Can i give you some advice?? You will never find the fault... 1, as said, you are wasting your time with a multimeter, what voltage does it use to test?? about 2 volts or something. An insulation tester, mine goes up to 1000v. entirely different. With one of these, you "might" find the fault is there all the time. 2, Next problem, you are planning on cutting sections to test. Where this will go wrong, is that the fault is intermittant, so you will be cutting out sections and probably finding nothing.. 3, By the time you do all this, you will most likely find that it was cheaper just to have replaced the cable at a cost of about £360... john..
