    How old is the machine mate and when was it last given a thorough service?

      Hi Mal.

      Machine is ~2006-ish. It's the one with the ball-jointed steam wand.

      Apart from back flushing and group head seals the machine has only had a couple of parts replaced since new - a new water pump and a seal somewhere in the internals (water was dripping constantly from the overflow tap at the back of the drip tray). But no "servicing", per se.

      Thanks for any advice you can provide.

      Cheers

      Edit: Just got an email from Cosmorex's service dept - suggesting it may be a loose screw at the base of the lever where it attaches to the group head.

I'm beginning to wonder if my machine is haunted. Any ideas?
        If anyone else has this issue with their Unico Splendor, the culprit turned out to be accumulated gunk and perished group seals. Obviously my backflushing regime was insufficient.
