Indesit dishwasher - help please!!

My dishwasher (Indesit IDL535) has decided to play up after 2 years of trusty service!
The water is pumping through fine, but only tepid - not hot at all. It continues on the wash cycle and then eventually the drying LED flashes rapidly. I rang the Indesit service department who said its to do with the heater.
Unfortunately they want £105 to fix it! I wouldn't necessarily mind paying it (I suffer from bad eczema on my hands so washing up is awkward - even with rubber gloves) but money is really, really tight at the moment.
My step-dad is really good with fixing electrical things and general DIY, but is yet to look at the machine, so is there anything he can do/replace in it to fix it a bit cheaper for me?
I will really appriciate any replies.
PS - Hope this is posted in the right place!

Try an independent white goods repairer, if it's just the heater element you don't need to have an Indesit agent to fix it. But assuming the part is maybe £50, another £50-odd to replace it is not unreasonable.
If you know what is needed, you could buy the part online and get him to fit it.No free lunch, and no free laptop
