Taking an oven out to get to the back is normally pretty easy. Just undo the screws and slide it out (which I was pretty happy about when I screwed up replacing the element on mine and had to take the whole unit out).
Plenty of spare parts for not much money out there so it may be a pretty cheap fix.

Our oven (terrible timing given we should be moving in the next few weeks) has started making a horrible noise like the fan is hitting metal while its spinning. It happens for a few seconds fairly regularly while turned on now, just started on thursday.
I took out what I could from the front and cleaned it up to no help. There is definitely play in the axle of the fan in all directions.. options:
a) stop using it, next owners problem
b) keep using it, next owners problem (could get worse? explode?)
c) find someone (no idea who?) to try and fix it at our expense.
Its a standard, built in fan-assisted hotpoint.
