Free Delonghi cooker

Hi, I have had this fan assisted cooker for over 8 years. I have in the last two years replaced two of the three oven elements. It was all working really well, then the oven stopped working, even the oven on red light does not come on (makes me think it may be a simple repair).

However the four ceramic type rings work perfectly. The rings work so well I carried on using it and just roasted on my BBQ, but someone has gifted me a nearly new cooker so anyone can have this free. It may be a really simple repair as I have mentioned. Working second hand cookers are around $500 (I looked on Trademe)!

Probably worth some scrap as it’s stainless steel but I would rather someone gets it working again. Pick up in Roslyn area. Please e mail me if you would like it at timmonbird@xtra.co.nz

PS it’s a hard wired cooker so no plug. The oven light inside the oven has never worked.

Hi, free porta cot……does not have the cover which also works as the base, so there is just the fabric base, not a hard one. Probably best for pet rescue type of thing or those who want to contain pups or kittens. Clean and folds away to a very small footprint. Roslyn area. Please e mail me at … View moreHi, free porta cot……does not have the cover which also works as the base, so there is just the fabric base, not a hard one.

Poll: When's too early for DIY?

We can all generally agree that noise from loud music or parties in the early hours of Sunday is a no-no. But when is it okay to fire up the power tools, leaf blower or lawn mower on a Sunday morning?
