I think there is a blocked hose but not confident enough to open it up and look. I have tried descaling but no luck. If anyone would like it and can get it going, it's yours. It's only 2 years old and as mentioned it is clean and in good condition.
Worn few times and in great condition. No stains and no marks. Very comfortable ans styling fashion :).
