And this is exactly why I don't want to risk it.

The reason I am replacing it is that my old one kept tripping the RCD.
When measured with a megger, it was reading 50Kohms between the
conductor and earth..

I don't want to spend all this time putting in an element which does
the same thing after a few uses..

I assume you've given the megger back?
