    Thanks again John, Sorry for the late reply. Life's been crazy and some unfortunate events have taken place leaving me busier than usual. I've not had any need to use the machine in a while so ill get to looking at the Anti Vac next time its intended to be used. May just order a new one as a...

    Thanks John, i still feel like its not mine so its still stood there untouched but his only responses have been him wanting HIS money......nothing about the machine. So i guess he is a scammer that's unhappy with the outcome. The Faema is brilliant! i love it. Could do with increasing the...

    First of all.....My dad is the worlds most avid Terry Pratchett fan....so your username is fantastically on point ๐Ÿ˜… Secondly, Thank you so much. I have already given him the deadline as next Tuesday. He messaged asking for me to repay the money, this is after ignoring everything I had said...

    A quick question to further my understanding. In the home environment do you guys grind a fresh dose every time? or do you grind a little extra and store it airtight? How long would you guys say it would last like this? I purged the grinder after cleaning yesterday and had a fair bit of ground...

    Hey guys! Quick update...... Yesterday I got my new piece of kit. And here he is, the Faema E98N/A-2H and Rimini Grinder. Old but reliable as right from storage everything seemingly works as it should. Drained and refilled the boiler with no issues. Cleaned up a little as best i could, Just...

    I think i agree in this case Dave, he was quick to want it collected. Responded to every message immediately and gave me a lot of immediate grief when I opened the claim but has been awful quiet today. I'm a fair man and will give him some time to respond but this time next week ill be stripping...

    I'm going to add directly to the boiler this time as I plan to strip it fully and do a deep clean as soon as I hear back from the seller (or don't i guess) ill give him some time to reply but i would still like to go ahead and restore this one in the event he doesn't respond. Ive added a 10%...

    Some news. I spoke with PayPal earlier on the phone. They checked over the listing and he listed it as Used but in working order and as such i was fully covered by buyer protection. The money has been refunded! PayPal have said that its the sellers responsibility in this case to arrange the...

    All I've done so far is connect the water supply really and I have taken off the Anti vac nut to shine a torch in to see if the boiler needed descaling. I've been holding off doing any further work to it whilst I wait for the seller, bank and PayPal to get back to me. They had already had all...

    Thanks John, I'll write this down for future use. Would it be OK to add the solution directly to the boiler whilst it is still in place? Presumably via the anti vac valve? I'm wondering more for future deep clean/descaling on a working machine. I've already ordered some Puly Caff as that's...

    Why thank you :) So is Citric acid the best for the job? I have a shoot ton of Citric acid crystals already from another project. I could make a solution with those. Is 30% about right? Would it be better to flush all of the pipework of simply just add the solution to the boiler then drain...

    Already pushed for that refund haha. still waiting to hear back. So i will continue on this war path for now until i know for sure whats happening. I have previous bad luck in getting refunds so im not hopeful Id been reading this thread already! There's a fair amount of useful info in there...

    It's a matter of cost at the moment rather than anything else. I certainly do not mind taking it on as a project but to have a Rancilio Tech take a look will cost money neither of us have

    Ah thanks for that, i didn't see a date but i wasn't really looking ๐Ÿ˜…
  16. ๐Ÿช›๐Ÿ”ง Technical | Faults | How-to's โ“โ„น
    Ill certainly take a look!! thanks for the info. We live in separate areas but are looking at Manchester as our store location, Possibly Burnley/Blackburn

    Hi Mark, thanks for the input. Again, id like to at least try the basics and see where i can go from there, even if it is to the local tip. Id rather say i tried my best than give up. Even if the machine is only useful for practicing on and we end up getting a rental I've looked at the rentals...

    I see, that would obviously be very problematic I have been recommended a guy that services machines for commercial use. his fee is ยฃ250 and we are obviously needing this before we opened. No point in doing so now if I cant operate the machine but it was already in the pipeline for later...

    Thanks John, I appreciate the honest reply. I'm certainly taking everything on board and listening to everything being said by Dave. I understand his position and your own, please understand mine. Id rather attempt to repair what I can initially see is wrong, so far its a lot of leaks, then...

    Thanks for the honesty. I feel like I've been ripped off but I want to try and do something with it whilst I still have it. Im going to continue down the route of refunds ect Could you give me some more insight into where to start resealing all the bits on the boiler? and what that valve is...
