Hey guys as some know I recently posted a thread chasing a project machine. Another CS'er near by offered me a machine this Isomac unit the work required doesn't look too much and a great starter project I think but I do have a few questions.

Other then the covers being off it look's pretty good and I think it will all polish up nicely and look rather impressive sitting in the kitchen.
On to the main problem it leaks from what looks to be the element might get away with just a gasket. It looks to have had a recent electrical box fitted (Built 2017) and the pressurestat also looks to have been replaced however when the machine is on the boiler pressure gauge is reading over 1.5bar I believe this should be at 1.2bar so I'm guessing adjusting the pressurestat down should solve that issue?
My other concern is that someone has bypassed the water tank switch I can't understand why I would love to have this working properly, Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the Australian model? or some good photos of the inside of a stock machine? I can only find a wiring diagram that is a little different not just in the design but also the wire colours don't match the way I believe the AU model is setup.
There is also a small amount of corrosion around a join at the other end of the boiler (3rd Photo below) doesn't seem to be leaking not sure if I should pull it out and clean it up or just clean it in place and keep an eye on It once up and running.




Thanks in advance I'm not sure if I'm going post up every step I might attempt a vlog and YouTube it. Just gathering information before the next step.
