Coffee Appreciation

Anybody had any luck getting a Rancilio Silvia repaired/serviced in or around London?

After 3 years of faultless service there was a large bang from mine last night, the water tank lid blew off and steam was flying out of the rubber tubes. The next time I switched it on it wouldn't heat, so I took it apart and reset the thermostat switch. This got it heating again but unfortunately it now just seems to heat continually (light is always on) and steam is produced from all angles rather than water.

Back to the stovetops I go... :(

For future reference, after several rejections, these guys did my repair...

@ £140 it wasn't cheap - but it included a full service and about £90 worth of parts, including a new boiler. Given my only alternative was to take a punt on what I thought was wrong, source the parts and try a fairly complex looking repair myself - and hope that I'd done everything correctly - it seemed the safest option.

It's come back looking like new and, curiously enough, working considerably more smoothly than it did when it was new (or since)!
