I wish to buy a 16th Edn multi-tester, ideally a fluke 1653 or something equivalent. Can anyone tell me where the best place to shop for Test instruments, or another newsgroup that deals with electricians test & measurement equipment?
Thanks
Best options I've seen in recent months have appeared on ebay.

I've just been looking for pat testers, all the online stores are pretty much similar priced.
SJW A.C.S. Ltd.
Alpha Electronics get to test a lot of our gear...
They sell the stuff too, but the 1653 looks a little pricey - haven`t=20 looked elsewhere for comparison though :-}
...its =A350 cheaper here...

Glanford are having a sale
They come up regularly on Ebay, although some fetch silly money.
I got an digital RCD tester and digital earth loop impedence tester from eBay for 100 quid each, including fresh calibration certificates. I got my digital megger/continuity for 30 quid from someone who thought it was a faulty temperature meter that gave him an electric shock! It is cheaper to get separates than an all in one. Also, you have less to lose if one goes faulty/missing/stolen. However, they obviously don't tend to have download options and certificate printing software, if these facilities are important to you.
