if the pump is making a noise then WD4- is ya mate spray a mist over the tubes and joints see if youve sprung a leak if not then pumps likely had its day.

Check all your fuses first then start looking inside the drivers door for problems.

Sounds like you have a sticky pump sesterfield its in the boot in a polystyrene box have  a look  at it and click the boot catch over and see if it moves freely when you lock the car.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08
