Thanks guys. It's an expensive cooker but the element was on offer for only £23. No great loss if it's binned. In fact I prefer it sto as not to be stuck in the middle between part supplier and repairman if it's not clear what the problem is. Also I think it would be a bit cheeky to expect them to use my part.
Meanwhile it's solved for now as I opened up the access panel again and ensured the push joints twixt the element and the wire tails were fully home. It took about 5 mins now I know the drill. Its working for now but I expect it may fail. At the least the RCBs are new and very sensitive so it's safe.
If I do need call someone out I will not offer any info other than its not working. I am sure most repairmen don't care about the history once they've opened it up and can charge a hundred quid just to fit and test another one.
