you have 1 of 3 possibilities
could be something elese but is highly unlikely

1) faulty heating element
2) faulty thermostat
3) faulty PCB

PCB is likely to show burnt tracks if faulty

element can be tested with a meter tester , and can be accessed via removal of a side panel

thermostat is on the element housing looks like this

Hi cool cheers do you know how to get to the pcb?

 

[cakeman]

undo the t20 screws down the sides and top of the inside of the door
lower front panel will fall out , catch it or you might scratch it !!

the facia panel then needs to be gently eased out a little ( many wires )

pcb now exposed
, will have several multi pin connectors , take a photo of where all the wires go before removing

the plastic box contains the circuit board. have a look in here for any tiny black smokey bits which may expose evidence of a flash.

Hi it looks like it was just a small hole so i put a bit of solder back in there & it seens to be working fine now so hopefully its sorted,thanks for all your help.
