Throw it away
Neons work on the principal that you become part of the circuit and provide the potential difference
The only thing between you and230v up your arm is a crappy 3p resistor in the handle, if this fails you get a wallop!!
Live testing is by far the most dangerous procedure we have to carry out so caution is a must. If you are going to do such tests then you need to spend the
Money and buy a GS38 approved voltage tester, I can highly recommend the Fluke T-5
Buy it as a deal with a volt stick as these are great for proving live and finding dropped neutrals, however only a approved voltage tester should be used for testing for dead
