Buying a cheap Multimeter can be a good move.

The very frustrated previous owner of the 620ti decided to get rid following a new Alternator and Battery being fitted professionally which cost a nice few quid and still had battery problems.



I bought it allowing for the cost of fixing.. He was also told that his coolant loss was because "They all do that" ( HGF ) as it's a Rover. Well known fact ~ been on TV and everything! On arrival to view car, there was a patch of coolant directly underneath the Water Pump location. New water pump and car good as gold.



The Multimeter, used it to see how well the new Alterrnator was performing. Too bluddy well! No wonder two batteries were "cooked" in quick succession!







I fitted a known good used one and that immediately showed how a healthy Alternator keeps a Battery in good health too.







Five quid well spent. That included delivery off ebay.



Later, had a specialist fit a replacement Module to the over-charging Alternator ( £37.50p ) to be told when I picked it up:~ "That's a good 'n John" ... ;)



It's an ill wind and all that.
