We've had a bit of a turn of events. Hubby took the lever off the La Pav as it needed replacing, was wonky- hubby said the piston was seized and the lever had been forced breaking the lever, and once he started taking bits of it led to more bits being taken off and then more bits came off. It was also filthy. I used it maybe 1/2 a dozen times and it was an ebay purchase. There was also a tiny, dead insect in the steam tip lol. In the end I looked at him and said now it is apart you may as well fix it yourself. So, all the gaskets, lever and lever pins are ordered and I think he is secretly looking forward to getting stuck in. Will post a pic of the piston in a bit.
