Long shot - need an obsolete cooker part

Rented house, oven is a 1996 Firenzi model.

It stopped working one day and I thought I'd give it a good deep clean before I called Landlord out.

I was getting in all the tiny cracks and crevices to make sure it was spotless and whilst doing so, the small plastic cover that covers the clock area popped off. It has a crack in it, I don't know if it's always been there or if I did it. (The house wasn't very clean when we moved in so dirt has hidden a lot.) I'm happy to buy a replacement cover regardless but can't find one.

I called the manufacturer who tell me the oven is old and I've not a hope of getting a replacement cover.

They tell me they have it listed as a 'panel' (which seems odd to me and I'm not convinced this is the right part - they did not have a diagram on their screen, just a parts list).

Anyway, they say the part number is...481945358475 but I can't find anywhere online that deals with parts this old.

Any suggestions before I have to phone LL and apologise for breaking the already broken cooker. :o Iyswim.

    stick it back together with superglue.
    and fix it back on.

    if it ever comes up in conversation, tell the LL it was like that when you moved in.

    I wouldn't bother. In fact if it's obsolete, it's probably destined for the tip if it's not working, I wouldn't even have cleaned it.

    I wouldn't bother either but your "panel" is £10.99 here. Unfortunately there is no picture to see if it really is the part you need.

    Thank you!

    I couldn't find anything when I searched.

    I'll call them to see if they can advise if this is the right part.
