actually,there are two really good 'legit',(one is a good mate) english sparkies nearby who might help out as well as the french tradesmen but the cowboys (of all nationalities) are well known so I won't be contacting them even if it will save me money in the short term....there are no guarantees plus of course it's not much use trying to get them back if they are in the nick or have been deported...

thanks for your concern but any useful suggestions would be welcome ...

Okay. Stop being such a tight and call your 'good mate' in.

You have a ghost. It is most likely the spirit of a 19th century cook, who has no clue how these new fangled ranges work, hence the confusion.

yeh,he'll do it for a couple of bottles of red plus the spare parts charges





knowing my luck recently it will probably require a new module costing about £4 million so it will be cheaper to buy a new machine....

that's an idea,I can tell any prospective house buyers that it's normal for the oven to do this so i'm covered...plus I can save some dosh and pass the problem on to the new owners..



thanks for the tip
