thanks

I last bought one was a recon from Denmans for around £30.

But they might have stopped selling them, as digi ones are more popular now.

QVS have them, but they're £67.....

Edited: QVC?????

With either company you can mail order or do so over the netty or they have branches - check the websites for details.

thanks guys for your replies.
would it be a problem installing these meters with 100amp consumer unit?

All my wholesalers stock them - I assumed it was nationwide.

They are typically 60 or 80 amp.

Most domestic properties are not going to ever exceed this, and indeed the majority of service heads have an 80 amp or lower fuse. Rare to see a 100amp even though the service head is usually marked as such.

What is the loading of your "100amp consumer unit"? What is supplied? Immersions? Showers? Elec heating?

w/f, newey eyre, edmunson all supply them, but they wont be as cheap as the ones in the links above.

These places will possibly be dearer as they usually only give good discounts to account customers rather than cash sales.
