Anyway. Pump might be broken. Some kind of filter might be blocked. Numerous things really.

Which reminds me, mine needs filling

if its a vauxhall i can almost guarantee its a blocked filter. On a corsa b and c, remove the pump (will pull out easily) then you should see a little black rubber bung in the bottle. If you carefully pull that out with a pair of longnose pliers, give it a was and unblock the holes and rebuild, will all be working again
