20Miles here the odd trip to Wakefield there (~500 of those are from driving to Wakefield and back) it soon adds up.

My car better last at least 200,000 miles. I believe fully in driving a car till it can't be driven no more.

CMS: Continuing our thing from the 15th floor. DVOM stands for digital volt ohm meter. It is a rather inexspensive instrument that you can use to trouble shoot electrical and electronic problems, and not just in your car. If you ever need to run tests on your computer and peripherals, your electric guitar or your amp a DVOM is a handy thing to have. Some people call it a multimeter. A logic probe is a similar device that indicates if a wire is has power or is a ground. It is a more evolved version of a test light that simply shows if a wire has power. The advantage of a logic probe is less likely to damage sensitive computers, sensors and actuators. Personally I only have a testlight and a DVOM in my breakdown kit. My logic probe stays at work. I guess if you have to choose what to buy first I would say first a DVOM and then testlight . A logic probe is overkill for your level of involvement. The reason I asked about book learning is because working automotive electrical and it's big brother electronics involves some book study. The test light is a really simple tool and it only does a few things, but it does them well. The DVOM is really open ended. It's a tool that really is a extention of your mind and your knowlege. The more you know the more ways you can use it. The typical reason to have a DVOM is to check the battery, the alternator and their respective terminals. It will tell you in less than five minutes if your battery is fully charged, if the connections are good and if the alternator is functioning properly, but that's only just scratching the surface of a DVOM's potential.
Sorry I guess I got a little long winded on that one.

Multimeters are good for that too (well they are DVOMs, they just have other meters built in)...
