Hi Guys,
Looking for some advice and recommendations on our Rocket Giotto.
It's about 11 years old and hasn't been serviced in approx 5 years (but descaled regularly).
After heating in the morning for our morning caffeine hits, we've noticed that it takes some time (5-15 seconds) before the water comes out of the screen, and only steam comes out, and when it does, it does it tends to spit the water from the screen. In addition to this it does appear to drip water from the drain valve, as the tray gets full quite quickly.
After some googling, I found the following post on another site which appears to be the same issue.

I'm assuming that it may be the "upper valve gasket", but would appreciate any feedback / experience from this forum. In addition, the lever has about 10 degrees of play in it, as I'm assuming the cam on the cam rod is worn.
Looks like I will need to put a rebuilt kit through it, but want to ensure that I get the correct one, and appreciate anyones recommendations on what/where to get one from.
Cheers!
