I'd avoid Beko like the plague.....  I've been happy over the years with Electrolux,  Hotpoint and Whirlpool,   our current double oven is a whirlpool ,   and it's jolly efficient,  apparently it's a bit different to the run of the mill fan ovens,    uses some sort of fast heating element, and more aggressive air movement,   it's bloody quick up to temperature, and does a nice even roast.....   


to be honest,  in the long run,  you might be better off putting a new piece of work surface and base unit in there,  and fitting a built under Oven and hob... 

(if you like em,  make it a double oven, singles are bloody useless...  )   thus ,  as and when one eventually fails,  you only have to replace that unit, not the whole sodding cooking facility....   


for the price of a bit of work top and a base unit,  i reckon it makes sense....

On larger clips like this if you set grips to open wide enough to get both end tags , they wontclose far enough to open clip all the way , unless you adjust them under tension , which is non trivial. But can be done with another set of pliers . My troube was I couldn't get clip open all the way at the same time as trying to force it over the pipe ridge , whole getting it to stay in the grips , and hold the pump still to provide some back pressure on joint

Jaime it's the top hose from the heater matrix , runs to a pump type thing under the rhs of the expansion tank , matrix connector was a git to do , thought the pump end would be easy .....
The 27mm spring circlip that secures the pump end would not go over the ridge in the hose at the end of the union to the pump , I tried everything I could , pliers , mole grips , washing up liquid , swearing , even bent a set of long heavy pin nose to try and make them grip the spring ends reliably . Nothing worked , one jubilee clip later, hose on ......  I've run it up to temperature with and without the heater on , let the cooling fans come on a few times , no cloud of steam , no obvious drips from heater matrix feeds , hope to hell that's sorted it , got a spare HBV now , as I got one just in case I'd cocked up the replacement a couple of weeks ago

After 4 hours of my best if feeble efforts I've got the bulkhead end of the pipe on , but damned if I can get the spring clip to go on the hose joint with the pump under the expansion tank , is anyone with the right skill or tool able to prevent me taking a sledgehammer to the frickin thing ???
