ECM-2A30 - Particulate filter trap - Blocked

I'm getting the following readings from the pressure sensor:

Idle - 27Hpa
2,000 RPM - 92Hpa
2,500 - 198Hpa

I've tried initiating a regen using VIDA but it just fails to initiate. I'm not all that experienced with VIDA. The engine is at the right temp and I don't have any other error codes other than the one above. I also checked the EOLYS fluid level and it is reading 6/15.

Can anyone give me some advice:
1) Any ideas what might be stopping the regen from starting?
2) Where can I find the 'soot mass in particulate filter' parameter (can't find it anywhere in ECM module)?

As a bit of background I had DPF problems twice before. First time it was because the EOLYS fluid had ran out. I refilled the fluid, reset the counter and forced a regen. All worked ok and the car was ok for a couple of thousand miles. Then the fault came back and I discovered a small hole in one of the pressure sensor hoses. I replaced one of the hoses and it has been fine for about 10,000 miles. The car has only done 21,884 miles in total, so I'm pretty sure it is not full of ash.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Wil
It will not regenerate with fault codes in the system !
you have very high pressure readings which confirm the particle filter is blocked , so change it and tell the car via VIDA that it has been replaced , make sure your additive tank is filled up if you have one ...
