Yeah it's hard to specify whether it was the boiler ring itself that needed tightening, or the bolts that attach the whole base plate to the boiler ring.

When you mentioned the element seal, I thought you were talking about the sealant applied under the little white collars here:

But I think you were actually talking about the o-ring you can see in this picture:

Which I think is a likely candidate.

Yes the o ring is what I am referring to 😁 on older machines with brass elements it's a paper/cardboard gasket which needs to be scraped off sometimes.

Absolutely amazing machines to work on and service. Beats anything like a Sage all day long from that perspective.

Yeah, I got sidetracked during my last service and inadvertantly switched the machine on afterwards without putting water in. That seemed to have removed/burned off at least part of the sealant around the element. So that's still quite fresh in my memory!
