We have got a really old phillips gas hob with an electric mains supply
spark ignition that has failed. To try to get at it, it looks like i'm
going to have to lift the whole shebang out.

If its all got to come out, i may as well fit a new one since its really
old and battered.

I see john lewis do a zanussi stainless steel hob for £89 but it always
seems out of stock. The next cheapest one they do is another zanussi hob
at £139, so i guess i'll go
for that?

Presumably if the copper pipe connection is in the same location at the
back, installing a new hob is simply a question of reconnecting the copper
pipe and the electrics for the spark; would you say?



Is this your £89 one. They appear to have 14 in stock.
