Hi, I have an espresso coffee machine that was quite expensive but it now needs a good service. Can anyone recommend somewhere local that can do this sort of task (good clean, de-scale, new gasket etc.)?
Thanks  |

Hi Sam Gaggia UK has gone out of business and have been taken over by Philips (Holland)
I have ordered the parts with delivery to me in 3/4 weeks, not lightening speed! But at least availability found!

| Thanks Bob, I knew Gaggia went to the wall last year but supposedly there were supposed to be people supplying spares! Having had a look around on the web after we spoke on the phone the other week there were a few people saying they were having problems sourcing parts, so I'm really glad you've managed to track them down - thanks! |

Woohoo! Instant coffee of any description is foul compared to a decent espresso  I stopped smoking and became a caffeine addict instead! |

| Hi everyone, please can you help me with this one; as some of you know I live in Australia but my father is still in Tredegar. Well he has a problem with his DVD player (it's a bit far for me to come to help out), can you recomend anyone who can look at it? |

hi problems with dvd players are never easly rectified,
asda however sell their own brand dvd players at a very reasonable price ,which is often less than the cost of repairs |
