[QUOTE="kerching, post: 391411, member: 11861"] As Badger and Sidey have said before +1 There can be other "issues" that cannot be "seen" Just because it is working does not mean that it os correct and/or safe. Cheap meters can and do explode if , for example, you put the meter across a supply when set to "ohms". Or use the 'current setting' when across a voltage. It may be better to get someone in....and be cheaper! If you really want to DIY then buy/hire/borrow the correct testers and we will try to talk you through it. Seriously though, think about getting someon in...might be a member on here who is close to you No offence [/QUOTE]
