Are you 100% sure you don't have a short?

Have you been capping back the cable into chases, Screwed down floor
boards?

You have to believe your instruments so I can only go on what the
megger tells me, and that says that there is no short - tried
shorting the test leads and the meter swings right over to 0 ohms so
the megger seems to be working OK. Cables capped - and chases
plastered over ( Some floorboards screwed back down - but
megger shows no shorts.

Take the kitchen strap out of the CU attach a battery&bulb L to +, - to
bulb and bulb to N and see if the bulb lights? do this on the E to L and E
to N.
If it lights you have a short if not then start looking at CU
