    What about removing the 3way all together. Then if pump runs and pumps water out where the 3way is, you have water to the group.

      I think that will be your problem, in that 3way. Dislodged wire, sticking plunger.. something in there.
      Im not sure of it's modes of operation...

        Thanks everyone for your help and advice. Checked that water was at least travelling through one of the pipes leading to the group. It was but looked like there was a partial blockage. Took the group apart and the two main pipes connected to it and descaled everything. Machine is now working as it should, maybe a tad hot and pressure is too high. Thinking of getting it serviced anyway just to make sure everything else is OK and to have the temp and pressure properly dialed in.

        Really grateful for all the knowledge on this forum. Thanks again.

          Those two things march in lockstep and thus both can be addressed by tweaking the pressurestat down a notch or two.

            Everything you have done already is much trickier than adjusting the pressure/temp.

            I have been working on a Domobar Super (slightly different model). Adjusting the temp/pressure is pretty simple. Just remove the top cup tray and the black plastic cap to get to the pressure stat adjustment which requires a flat screwdriver.

            If you haven't found it already 1st Line coffee has a great manual for Domobar Super.

            I have attached it as it may be some help as it has a section on adjusting pressure and also a pressure to temperature guide. Aim for 1.1 bar on the left gauge as this should equate to 93 degrees Celsius for water temperature.

              That manual has been available here in the Pointy End Documentation Area for over a year and a half.

                Good to see you've got the machine working....
                I'd say you've given it a pretty good service yourself. It's working, and if it aint broke, why go have it fixed? Turn down the pressurestat to lower the heat till you're satisfied, and enjoy the coffees.

                  Thanks everyone. Will have a read of the manual and adjust myself. I think I'll skip the service for now as well [emoji106]
