It seems my oven has just died. It won't heat. The lights work (oven light and thermostat light), the fan works, so I assume it's just the heating element. It's a Prima, type FCEM6, model LPR 811. I can't seem to find spares for that model but there is a LPR 812 - will a heating element for that fit?

And I'm on my own, so pulling the oven out is going to be an issue if that's necessary.

In the meantime, I guess it's pizza tonight.

This any good?

That, as they say, will do nicely, though I'd prefer to not deal with ebay, and I'd want it sooner.

Is it an easy fix?

I believe there is even an installation video on that page I just linked you to :).

It was, in fact, a massive embuggeration. The wires didn't come through with the element - not enough room so I had to take the oven out, take off its back, fit the element, then reverse the steps. And getting it back into its frame was a bear.

Anyway, it's done. Thank you for your help.
