I stupidly ruined my element (think I basically burnt off the seals after inadvertently starting it dry after a service).

Popping a new element in there was pretty straightforward though! Was €45, so not too bad all things considered (though you'll likely be replacing o-rings and picking up some sealant for the p-stat when replacing it, so that'll add a bit to the total cost)

Yep, I've changed the seals multiple times and have swapped heating elements over, just got a bit distracted and lazy recently, so left this one remain broken. I might fix the La Pavoni - you've given me inspiration (here goes the praying hands emoticon ;-)

All aboard the pavoni rebuild inspo!

This week, subject to parts arriving I'll be fitting

New element & seal

May swap out the power cable for some iron flex if I can get the right spec.
