There should be continuity between each of the three phases (yellow wires) but no continuity between each yellow wire and ground.

Also, do you have a contact tel number for Electrex please, as I need to order a part anyway and there website isn't working and there is no tel number on the net.?

Regards, Will

Hope you get it sorted mate, I've always used Electrex and never experienced any probs in the past :roll:

Nice people though so I'm sure they'll help you out even without a receipt.

Phil, thanks for the No mate :wink:
