I personally did what Peter N suggests.
What I do is fit an allen key into the hole, get a deep drive socket thats a tight fit on the allen key, fit an extension bar to that, and then try to undo it. What I find is that when it does start to go it makes a god awful squealing sound so don't be alarmed if that does happen.
Edited for a typo
Xantia- Heavy steering and front end whine

or could the pump just not be working??
can i check anywhere else

If air has got in yes.. or possibly
A car equpit with Anti sink will stay up if system pressure remains below a certain perssure, this is because the anti sink valves stay shut keeping the suspension up..
The only other detection of no pressure is NO brakes...
