Metrel test kits

[Jackson elec]

I have a metrel test kit, and have started having issues with the continuity test on it, when I press the test button, with the leads open, it gives a reading of either 0.2 or 0.8 ohms, can't seem to get hold of metrel, has anyone had experience of this too???

What model
I have a euro test AT and have had no problems, apart from high continuity readings in overworked leads.
What happens with leads disconnected from the meter

When my Metrel starts giving inconsistent readings I know it time to buy new leads.

If I disconnect the leads and press test I still get a reading, normally 0.8ohms??

Are any of the leads piggy backed?
