I have a steam iron that works perfectly, save for the flex.
The difficult bit was supposed to be getting the rear panel off the iron
(doddle - one security screw and gentle pressure to release plastic
tangs), not sourcing the bleedin' cable.
All I need is 2.5 or 3 metres of 1mm^2 3 core rubber insulated cable
with an overall cloth braid, and the thing will work again. The only
problem is that this cable (aka 2043Y) seems to be be made of unobtainium.
B&Q reckon they have 2.5metres for £7 in their range - pity it's out of
stock at every store. Nowhere with any kind of local bricks and mortar
presence seems to sell it.
Yes it's only £10 more to buy an identical replacement, but it's a lot
easier to recycle 3 metres of worn flex than 1.5kg+ of mixed materials.
rant over.
Out of stock cos no one wants it/does it...
