Good call JohnDuffell, just looked and didn't realise the back case is dented, looked on the inside and bingo!!
Thanks although @SparkyChick said it first! Glad you're hopefully going to get a working oven out of it.
 
Thanks Sparkychick as well...

I beat the back panel out and stuck some 3M sticky back mastic strips we use in work for making safe exposed cutouts etc over the inside of the back panel around the burn marks to extra insulate it...

Put it back in last night.. no tripping, ran on every setting for half hour all seems fine, except one oddity??
When set to LIGHT only, which in manual says
"For a light with NO cooking function"
The grill element comes on & off if I turn the temp dial...!!

Any ideas??
 
i had similar with a new element fitted in our 20 year old oven.replaced the spade connectors with the right angle insulated type.
