hi you probably have your piston rod is little bit loose from piston so it does not raise piston high enough so group head must be disassemble and reconnect the rod with loctite regards Guy

A hard one to help because I would need to see it and the area involved which would determine a method. Wire cutters of suitable size are good for pozi-philips types gripping between side and centre "hole". A fine metal saw to cut a slot (jewelers metal saw) which are inexpensive if small screws are involved I find are good. You could file two flats on the head on opposite sides or use a Dremel type tool with diamond disc to do it, so to get a better grip. If its a screw in a brass insert into plastic then a small amount of heat (soldering iron) to soften plastic (via the screw head) its inserted in then prise out in a vertical manner, then re-glue insert back in after sorting things out. If we are talking about a screw into a metal threaded item then praying its not stainless steel drill that screw out with a cobalt type (very hard compared to HSS steel) drill bit starting under thread size working up, at some point the head may come off, depending on screw size a square file tip can be inserted in the hole to act as a gripper but beware small files are brittle so would break if over forced. Larger types of this method would involve a shaped Allen key to wedge in this hole or a nail like a masonry type which is hard duly shaped with four flat sides to grip. I could go on but I think you got the principle ideas, only you can evaluate which is best, my advice is to think out methods rather than jump straight in that suit this event. Hope this helps......

hi if you can tight the bolts on side of the group heade that might help if not you have top replace the o ring regards Guy

you need to change the valve thats broken.i used a spanner for ours

hi there is new heating element from stainless steel and you adopt with shorter screws to the boiler ring regards Guy

Try running some white vinegar through it as if you was making coffee (but don't use any coffee) and when done either repeat processes or run a clean pot of water to clean out the vinegar and see if the water is coming out faster. You might need to repeat process a few times. The vinegar breaks down any hard water residue.

Hi I have one of these in the attic, they do not come with a tamper as they have a fancy pressurised portafilter , its good to level the coffee and if I remember I did used to give it a bit of a tamp as it just didn't seem right not to. I have found a couple of references to tamper size on the web and both say 53mm I can't totally vouch for this though, you can always check with a ruler.

Hi this link goes to a site that covers quite a lot of stuff about Pavoni lever machines hope you find what you need. I have set the link to land on a page that has a wiring diagram, Powering up the La Pavoni

Hi I have had a search using the info you have given but I can't find a reference to a UBAR I have put a link to pavonis site which leads to the specifications for some of their BAR products. Their website is a bit unhelpful but if you search on their site for PDF you may be able to find what you need. I used a add on for firefox that searches within the site you on for any word you have in the search box rather that looking on the whole web. from this you might be able to work out the model you have. http://www.lapavoni.com/PDF/CAT_BAR.pdf

Hi if there is Vapor coming from the grouphead when the lever is down then I would guess there is a problem with the seals around the piston and possibly elsewhere. Here is a link to a goos site that looks at repairing La Pavoni lever machines. Good luck. DIY dr pavoni

\\this might be caused by a worn piston seal. see here how to replace seals. dr pavoni

HI you shouldn't use sealant. if the silicon seals are broken they should be replace, they are available from sellers on ebay.

hi it is normal when water heating up and pressure begin to be built in the boiler until the vacuum braker at the safety valve close but if it continue to whistle when the green light goes off after few minutes it means you have too much pressure in the boiler and it is realesed through the safety valve in that case you have to replace your pressurestat or you have scale at the bottom of boiler in the entrance of the pipe leading to the pressurestat regards Guy

Try looking at this site its really good helped me do various repairs to my La Pavoni Pro http://www.francescoceccarelli.eu/lapavoni_faidate_eng.htm all the best P
