Is there anywhere in Ireland too buy one.
Pressure is gone completely.
Might it be solenoid valve also
?

Gran Hermano

Chances are you'll need to order online from a UK or European seller.

How hard is your water? How often do you descale? Have you had the machine from new?

Its pushing 8 years old, had it from new.
Do descale from time to time.
stripped out the pump this eve no evident damage unless its wear.
checked the pressre at the portafilter which was fine (10) but it took a while to get there.
Its puts out 200 ml in 20 secs at the head and the wand separately.
Have ordered a new pump. so will see.
There has been the odd whine from the pump so it prob is wear.

May I ask how you checked the pressure?
Thanks
