So the oven broke yesterday, not long after the fridge, dishwasher and washing machine gave up the ghost. Nice one.

So I need a replacment asap, I have replaced the other kit with Siemens stuff which seems good, so I may well go with that again, but I need to find then in stock, oh and I may as well get a gas hob to match at the same time.

It's a single integrated, anyone got any ideas on stockists in the South East of alternative makes?

Theres a place on the Bath Road in Slough, just before Halfords opposite KFC.

They've always got all sorts of appliances in there.

Its either A4 Appliances or A1 Appliances I think.

Cheers Matt,

I'll check it out.

Been meaning to catch up with you actually, as I am now working for a company doing AV and IT for Superyachts, designing bespoke products.

worth fixing it? - likely to be the element, can be bought online (£30ish) and not too tricky to fit.

So I've sourced a new oven, it's being delivered on Saturday.

Next challenge is the wiring. The current oven is on a 13amp plug and socket, but the new one needs more juice than that so I presume I just need to fit a junction box and hard wire it in, which sort of junction box will I need? BTW the oven circuit is on a seperate 32 Amp breaker so should be OK to handle the extra load...

Please no Part P rants, I now all about it, balls to it.

Have a look on here,that will give you an idea what you want.It's a good idea to have an isolator switch close to the oven.
