Multimeter recommendations please

I'd be grateful for your recommendations for a decent, reasonably priced multimeter. For testing usual stuff - battery, coils, alternator etc.

Any half decent multimeter from e bay will do as long as its digital, 25 quid is a good start unless you are a microelectronics bod. Fluke is the best but pricy. I got mine from Aldi, a tenner i think.

Most useful function I've found is to get one with an audible continuity tester - makes tracing wires / faults a lot quicker

This cheapo one does everything I need, but there are loads around for about £10
