A new cooker.
Peculiar thing happened tonight.I was cleaning the bottom of my oven and noticed what I thought was a small hole in the oven floor. The lining is black so I couldn't see clearly enough, so went and got a torch to get a better light in there. Sure enough, there was a tiny hole. Haven't got a clue how that's happened or how long its been there even, but I'm wondering if its safe to use now? Or maybe it will affect oven temperature even?
I think I'd better look for a new cooker, just what I could do without on top of Christmas! Where's the best place to look do you reckon, and do you think I stand any chance of getting it delivered before Christmas now?

Re: A new cooker.
If possible a simple stainless steel nut bolt and 2 washers would seal it up, is it round or ragged. The first might indicate its manufactured, the second some kind of fault. I agree with ST about contacting the manufacturers, seems drastic to change it. But of course peace of mind is all important.

Re: A new cooker.
I decided to have a quick look round Currys this morning, just to get an idea of current cookers and prices.They had one I quite liked but it was in black. I asked the salesman if it also came in white, so he looked on Currys website and informed me it did - BUT, it was £100 more!!! I asked why the huge price difference, as it was exactly the same make and model, but the twit just shrugged and said that's how it was.
I then asked him if would pay that price difference if he was wanted a car in blue instead of green, to which he admitted he wouldn't pay extra for a different colour.
So I asked him if he would please phone his supplier incase it was an error, but he refused to enquire for me.
So today, Curry's lost a customer!

It weren't so much that Bruce, it was more that I was a bit concerned about what was underneath the hole. If fat or liquid splashed or boiled over and it went down the hole, where would it go? Would it go onto the electrics? I didn't know if would be safe.
