    We will have to start calling Robusta "Magiva" with tips like that
    All he needs is a drill, 2 eggs and some ordinary household bleach, and hes can rig up an atom bomb!

        If you add the Swiss Army knife, he can build an interstellar spacecraft!

          I saw him stop a nuclear reactor meltdown with a bar of chocolate.

            I dont think you can backflush if no water comes out of the group

            If you dont find an obstruction in the valve (this sounds like the likely culprit to me), then it could be a failed solenoid coil. Check this link to see if the symptoms match:

            I think a failed solenoid coil is less likely in your case.


            edit: added some more details

              No - but if it is the shower screen stopping the flow and not the group, then removing the screen and doing a backflush would work.

                  Magiva came to mind with the tip about using plasticene as a back flsuh tool.

                    sorry for the late reply, ive been away with work.
                    update: I had already fitted a new shower screen a month or so ago, checked it, it wqas clean so I switched on the steam button and flushed steam through the grouphead not the wand. at first it just bubbled out and I figured Id wasted my time. i tried it the next morning and it works better than ever! so i took off the showerscreen again and checked if anything had come out of the grouphead, nothing.
                    Maybe the valve was stuck? who knows but it works better than ever now !?!
                    Oh well, the upgrade will have to wait.

                      Thats a good result for you GW. But it can be very frustrating not knowing what caused it...lest it reappears. But alls well that ends well, for now.
