Cooker dilemma!

[Lagoonablue]

My oven has packed in. The hob is fine. It will cost £140 to repair. I can't easily replace the cooker as it is built on and can't get one to fit the gap in my fitted kitchen.

Choices are;

1. Repair the cooker though it is 10 yrs old

1. Buy a new one and put up with a 2.5 cm gap between the cooker and unit and watch it get full of crap as bits fall down the side!

1. Get one of those microwave combi ovens? I need a new microwave anyway and this would give me an oven as well.

Don't bake much btw. So oven maily for pizzas, casseroles etc.

WWYD?

Oh go on. Give me some advice please........I know it is trivial but need help with my decision.

Are you sure you can't get one to fit? Our kitchen is about 30 years old and when our oven died about 5 years ago, we managed to find one (I think from Hughes direct) that was slightly narrower but still fitted in the cabinet. We had decided just to replace it and put up with the gap, but DH is a chef.

Ours is a New World one, nothing fancy but works fine. It isn't our main oven for everyday use, we have a small commercial one for main oven, this one is for when we have people over and or the grill.

Incidentally, it was also quite cheap.

Sorry, meant to say we needed a normal oven/grill as DH is a chef.

Thanks. Have searched the internet but can't find an exact match. Either too big or too small.
