outdoor PIR lights

You can get a PIR light complete for about £15. The time and effort sourcing and repairing the old one may not be worth it. You could also use a stand alone PIR if you really want to keep the light fitting. Hope this helps

Insulation Resistance Test??

As posted before, Remove all cables from CU if you are getting these sort of readings and re test. Other circuits may have an effect as the neutral and earth will be linked as you are only isolating the line between circuits.
