the legs of my cooker will not fit in the holes anymore, the metal sheet underneath seems to be crap, i currently have the cooker standing on an old worktop 28mm off the ground is there any problems by me doing this?

Cooker legs usually screw into the cooker from below - into robust threaded holes - they're adjustable for levelling the cooker. They may well pass through a crap metal plate but they'll go into a strongly mounted hole.

It's a puzzle how they became detached in the first place - somebody has been screwing around (anticlockwise) with your cooker legs.

Very creative the 28 mm worktop - but it will present a tacky image to visitors.

Good Luck..., July 2016
