Why has hot water pressure gone?

I own a Triton Bermuda electric shower. It was working at a good pressure and temperature at a low setting but now I need to turn the temp dial to almost full to get any warm water and this is reducing the pressure to a mere dribble! Can anyone suggest anything??

most triton electric showers have two heating elements.one may not be working the cause may be 1 faulty element 2 faulty thermal cut out on outlet pipe 3 faulty wires/burnt out 4 faulty microswitches.if mains water pressure was low it would not heat up at all as there is a pressure switch on stabiliser valve.check power in off and remove cover and look for any signs of overheated wires switches connections etc
