Ok thanks, yer i flicked it other to current amp. the ohms measures resisants, it was only £20 it says dc current, not sure if ifs ac current thats needed to be read. Tried it on a few settings, first time was 10 amps and under which read out 0, but when i did put it on it did spark and read out 5.8 for a split second the nothing.
Ill get the regulator your on about.
