If he can't get into the Spurs team at the moment, then I would steer well clear. |

I did check but couldn't find anything specific to his Oven model on this occasion.
I have used YouTube many a time for doing repairs on cars. Managed to remove and replace the ABS pump on my old Mazda 3 via a YouTube video. That saved me about £800. |

I remember my dad used to fix shit. Washing machine? Remember him out in the garden late one summers night, hammering away at the drum. Did it though. My old Raleigh Grifter- replaced the bearings in one of the wheels after I had inexplicably ridden it down some concrete steps in the local park. He could have fixed that blindfolded. "Used be down the tip with my brother, building bikes out of parts we'd find" he'd boast...
He was a typewriter engineer by trade so had the patience and understanding that I certainly don't feel capable of. He's 85 now though so just can't do those things anymore. |

My dad's double oven broke, the switch on the main oven no longer clicks into place and just spins when turned. Switch broken, it's worn. 2008 Bosch oven, it happens. Rest of it works fine, top oven and grill.
Quotes from local company to repair it, order the part and replace it, £90 call out, cost of part £35 to £60 and labour £150 plus VAT.
Just bought him a brand new double oven for £430 including delivery, and removal and recycling of the broken one.
I can remember in the 80s and 90s, household appliances were always repaired. Was it always that expensive?
Seems ridiculous, but there you go.

It looked like Hull got a huge offside decision go their way, which should have brought it back to 1-1. Not sure what the lino was doing there. [Post edited 24 Jan 22:52]
