buy a multi-function "Environment" Meter from your local electrical wholesalers. Theyve normally got a DB meter on them as well as Light and the usual volts, amps etc. Ive got one, its great. cost me £25.

I've got a decent one - no probs to borrow - send me a u2u to sort out

Live near Llanelli but travel up and own the M4 everyday

Think we exchanged messages previously on this -

Just be aware that unless its calibrated (most aren't or cannot be) it's useless for giving you an absolute figure (IE to go to Mr SVA and say "but MY meter says....".

But they're useful for relative readings (e.g. before and after an exhaust system change)....
