I know this has come up before and the 1552 is a bit of an old girl now, but for anyone experiencing the dirty-contacts-causing-rotary-switch-misselection issue, I have posted a step by step repair guide here:

David Savery Electrical Services Ltd. - Megger MFT1552 repair

It's pretty straightforward, requires few tools and took only half an hour despite my post Eurovision hangover.

I post this for information only and make no guarantees of success or of its suitability for others to follow. This will invalidate any warranty & calibration and I imagine Megger themselves would state that unauthorised repair means the unit can no longer be considered as reliable. But really, it's an easy fix that they shouldn't be charging £180ish to perform themselves.

It's at the above link for those who want to review it and decide on their options.

You need this in the other post that is running, though technically it isn't work; in fact it is hard work!
