I had a surf around and there are still precious few DC amp clamps on the market when compared to AC clamps. The Di-Log probably still is the best bet. Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

Even without the Christmas crack that would be a great price. Presuming it is the same model - do you have a link?

Nobody loves the taxman!

I think I got mine from ISS and they sorted the return of my first clamp with no fuss.

Excellent write up Robbie - I trust the mods have seen to it being "Stickied" and added to the wiki Whistle LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

I don't think this one is in the wiki, but any forum member can add a new section to it.

We could almost have a 'Winter Wiki' and a 'Summer Wiki', given the seasonal variations in D3/D4 issues!

What do you mean by different readings?

I have the same meter and can't say I've noticed any problems with it.
