[Spridgets] Bad batch of Condensers

Martyn,

You can measure the condensors with a capacitance meter.  Typically
automotive condensors are about 0.2-0.3 uf.

Assuming that one mode of failure is that they short internally, then you
can just put the multi-meter on 
continuity check and see if the condensor is shorted.

Just as there was a bad batch of black rotors several years ago there now
seems to be a bad batch of condensers out there.  How do you tell the good
from the bad?

Cheers,
Martyn
