I wouldn't think you need to pay anything like £40 to get a decent basic multimeter. My last one came from Machine Mart and cost less than a tenner. And if you do decide to shop there, there should be a VAT-free shopping day or two coming up in about a week - I believe my local one (Dundee) is next weekend, they may differ from store to store.
