You'd probably be better off with a Nissan engine anyway.

Just keep chasing Curry's, they sold it, they have the responsibility for the repair.

OK after doing a bit of googling I found the following, which I think is what you're asking?

Kenwood Appliances
The Kenwood appliance brand was bought by Delonghi in 2001 along with the Ariete brand name and led to many of the range cookers that were sold being referred to as Kenwwod Elba.

This brand is not to be confused with the Kenwood small appliance brand or the Kenwood audio company as these are not related to the large appliance business.

Taken from here

If you read on it basically goes on to say that
"Kenwood appears to have been used as a "lower price point" product and we have seen many Chinese made dishwashers and other products sold."

So if I've understood it right, Kenwood sold off the large appliance part of their brand back in 2001 and the cookers and dishwashers, etc are now being made by someone else and are by all accounts inferior quality.
