You're a sparks? 2 meg ohm is 2 million, 2000 ohms is 2K

I was giving two common values depending on what his tester was set at !

Either 2M ohms if his tester was set at Mega
Or 2K ie 2000 ohms

200 is more appropriate as the resistance is likely to be less than 1 ohm. I checked my Fluke DVM and that shows 1 for open circuit so it sounds like your element has failed, no surprise.

Depends on the size of the chip and it's location

I have this issue too! Although I do find it bizarre that both elements would both fail - will do some testing tomorrow. Number 1 on the list is to fit a new front R/H caliper... Land Rovers - they are a constant headache, yet undeniably loveable...
