raywilb, perhaps a letter to your MP might get some action?

Buying TWO of these:-
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Timing-belt-Kit-Fits-Vauxhall-Vectra-Calibra-Cavalier-2-5-Omega-2-5-2-6-3-0/222619968296?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
gives the right number of pulleys for a reasonable price; they were £20 each kit when I bought mine 2 years ago!

Yes, BG, because I have to listen to 'Er Indoors going on about something or other and my coffee cools down!

Yes, several times! It's not a total loss; I can still warm my coffee for 59 seconds....

It beeps as if timing is complete, and switches off.

It will re-start straight away, for a further 59 seconds. I have had the casing off but could not identify any thermal cut-out and the only fuse that I could see was the mains fuse on the input panel, which obviously was sound. SWMBO is giving me grief!

Do you mean that if I went to a Liverpool pub I could get a "lorry-damaged" one for £5?

It just switches off, Dave, as if it has finished its task. No sign of water spillage. It failed after my son accidentally pressed microwave with a metal trivet in it: he very quickly cancelled it, and then it went into this "sulk-mode".

Problems come not in single spies....
Now my combi oven has gone bozwonk, cutting out after 59 seconds (exactly) on any function, grill, convection or microwave.
It's a Sharp R958 - any ideas, gents?
