I have a digital multi meter from TLC
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TMM3800.html

I had to change some 12v 35w halogen lamps today & one wouldn't
work. I set the meter to 20v DC & tried to measure the voltage at
the porcelain cable connector. Nothing.

Tried to measure the voltage on the one next to it, which was on at
the time & still got nothing.

Is my multi meter broken or is a digital meter no good for this sort
of thing? If the latter, what do I need to buy?

Try switching it to AC... :-)

Doh!

What a pillock I am. Automatically assumed 12v would be DC.
