It will be very difficult to claim your consumer rights at the distance involved - the warranty responsibility rests with the people who took your money.
It was long-ago they stopped making irons repairable - I no longer try - the iron gets wrecked just taking it apart.
I think your best bet is a new one.
Good luck...
