    Re: I killed my Silvia

    Sullo,

    Wont be long and she will be back on the bench where she belongs.

    Re backflushing..... I cant see why that is an issue - especially with the model you have as it has an OPV. Many, many Silvia users have been doing it even without the OPV (and as mentioned above.... you will taste the stale coffee oils built up in the assembly and the 3 way before too long). :P :P

    Only a day or two to wait :

      Would it be wrong to put up a Welcome Home banner for her?
      does anyone see anything wrong with this?

              its the worst thing to wake up, remembering so suddenly why your taking meds and got an appt at a physio then stumble/fall into the kitchen and see the big space on the bench where Silvia was and thinking oh crap thats right, then having to have TEA

              bring my baby back !


              *throws salt and the salt mill over damaged shoulder for good measure*

                    7 gramps per cup so I would say about 5 grams per hundred mls about right.

                          Well her boiler thingy is to be replaced, she is currently in the hands of mocopan techs, nice guys actually.
                          Poor thing wouldve been a month old today.
                          I thought di Bartoli do warranty repairs? Or is that not the case? Are Mocopan the distributors?

                            DiBs do but I cant drive a car at present due to my rapid coming together of a staircase and my neckbackshoulder, DiBs were kind enough in my moment of distress in organising a place that was closer to west syd where Im located. My partner gets lost anything east of Bankstown and she cant work the navman. Moco came thru just like DiBs wouldve done(Renzo organised everything god love him!). Both were great help and assistance.

                            Jeff, I cant wait till Im better, I cant play in the garage at present which as you would know is really pi$$ing me orf something crazy at the point I wanna cut my shoulder off!! (just kidding kids - dont try that at home)Cheers
