All

I need to do some welding on my series 3 (MOT next month) and I have had a real time of it with an Oxford Welder which only provides current on certain settings and now not at all. I have also fried my multi-tester on the damn thing trying to measure resitance.

Ideally, I'd like to try and find a manual for it. its quite old. Any ideas?

If it's on old Oxford Welder it will be oil cooled and probably the "Bantam" model. I honestly haven't a clue as to where to send you for a manual either chap.
Good luck with it

Hire or buy a Mig is your best bet.
You can get a 150 Amp unit for around £130 and up.
Check out Machine mart , Screwfix etc

Undo the nuts round the top and check the oil it may be full of water causing shorts.
