    from what your saying it sounds like your better off getting it fixed your self or by a local electrician, as you have no recipt and bought via a 3rd party, cheaper in the beginning but not so when things go wrong.

    however it sounds like its just the fan blades that have come loose, so may be just a simple job perhaps a £50 call out charge and 30- 60 min job to remove strip down repair and reinstall.
    don't use it without the fan as it could overheat as the fan dose disperse the heat around the oven and without it you could get hot spots (not like the ones in Barrymores old tv show:rotfl:).

    hope that helps

    Howdens contract is with your friend not you but they CAN print off an appliance invoice that has no prices on just models numbers invoice numbers and date. They 100% can do this as long as they can find your friends invoice via his name or address. Address a letter of complaint to matthew ingle or david may if you get no further

    It sounds more like the friend arranged it but the OP paid Howdens.

    Proof of payment is proof of purchase.

    Not if the warranty provider states otherwise.
    A warranty is not a legal right so terms and conditions such as having to register the warranty or needing to provide the original receipt are perfectly acceptable in law.

    It doesn't matter who actually paid for the cooker, what does matter is whose name is on the contract of sale.
    My mother recently arrange for some new windows to be fitted in her house and she was the one who signed the contract.
    However, when the bill arrived, I sent off a cheque from my bank account, but irrespective of me paying, I have no contract with the window company.

    I'm not sure but I believe that SOGA says otherwise and T&C's can't override the law. I've just done exactly that in spite of T&C's to the contrary.

    If the terms of the manufacturer's guarantee say you need produce a signed letter from the retailer, then you must do that. The manufacturer does not even have to provide a guarantee.

    SOGA is different.
