Is there a decent DIY level DMM - maybe around £40-50 - which anyone
could recommend? I know I'm not going to get a Fluke for that, but I
just want something sturdy & reliable.

Testing requirements are mainly home (UK 230v) and car (12v), just
ordinary stuff about continuity, resistance, volts and milliamps etc.

I found some useful info at

- recommends the Extech EX330

Googled that suggestion, and discovered a thorough comparison by a
hilariously blunt Aussie tech ("Seriously mate, this is just ****") -

He also recommends the Extech EX330, and it's still available via Amazon
for £40 =

I'm tempted. Might buy some extra leads too.
