    I put rocky back together and did a zero grind, gave silvia a hug lock and viola she choked without any leakage! (Sounds abusive but, Wohoo!)
    Ah! Yes - my Rocky needed similar treatment... I was working on the theory that it all worked and then started to misbehave!

    Thanks for your help guys, I dont think Id be able to find out whats wrong without your help. On a side note, I seem to see water coming out from the lug entry points when I turn on the brew head without a portafilter in place. I was just expecting a straight downward flow from the shower screen but weirdly enough theres water coming down from that bit too.
    Sounds like there is water spraying sideways. I dont have my Silvia anymore so I cant check - but the showerscreen has a lip which should prevent any sideways throw. Maybe drop the screen and look to see how it comes out of the dispersion disk? (which would mean putting the screw back just to hold the brass disk, but you knew that anyway...!). I dont remember mine doing anything except a vertical drip.

    Glad it is all back on track!

    Cheers
    /Kevin

      Removing the shower screen and cleaning it and the dispersion disc  was part of my weekly cleaning regime when I owned a Silvia, youd be surprised just how much gunk builds up in the area.
