You'll probably find that by the time you've arsed around dismantling
and re-assembling it, then sourcing an element, it'd only be a couple
of quid more for a new kettle, with a shiny new element and garuantee.

That is true, but it's a wet weekend, I have an excellent spares shop
close by and it just feels wrong to throw it away and buy a complete new
kettle.

Now if only I could get he element out! I suppose the thing to do is
take the kettle to the spares shop and see if they say "sorry it's not
replaceable".

Thanks,
