Hi Jon, unfortunately I don't have any of the old photos, I'll have a look on my backup drive later in case there are some there. Best thing to do is take photos before you disamtle then carefully descale with citric acid and make sure everything is tight when you re assemble. The Izzo is very easy to work on and you can't really go wrong. They are built to a very high standard with very few plastic parts. Let me know if you struggle with anything and am sure you'll get it working perfectly. Regards Richard

Hi, I live in Norfolk now also. A small village called Topcroft, around 4 miles from Long Stratton. I've long stopped working on coffee machines but have recently though about getting back into it. I have friends living in Elmsett, definitely a small world :)

Silvia just received but not happy...

I cannot believe it was sold in that condition, have people no pride?? It looks disgusting! On a positive note, it would actually be very easy to get it cleaned up and looking new. I had one in far worse condition and was like new when I'd finished but it should not have been sent to you looking like that - sounds like great customer service from the seller - Not!! -
If you do decide to post, can you bear me in mind as will take it if you can. regards Richard

Polishing wax and pads from eBay attached to a drill do the trick (oh and a lot of effort)

If you can post it (at my cost) I'll take it

Alex Izzo duetto IV leak, high boiler pressure
HizerKite replied to Kosta's topic in Technical | Faults | How-to's
Very surprised the probe was scaled if using Volvic, I ran a machine (not an Izzo) for 6 years with no descaling at all and the probe, element and boiler were like new when I inspected them. -
Hi and many thanks for your reply, have edited the advert so a price should now be visible. Regards Richard
