In a skip?
Landfill site?
Pump museum?
But seriously; yours must be over 30 years old, and can be replaced by any number of modern 130mm pumps, eg Grundfos 15/50 (or its successor).

Thanks to all who have replied so far.
denso13, yes a controller pump. Sorry, can't send photo as the gas engineer took the old one away with him. At present we have to rely on the central heating to heat the water up, which makes it a bit hot in the house now that the warmer weather is here (and a waste of money), so I am trying to solve the problem.
Nige F, yes I have seen the one on ebay and am not sure if it the right one. If anyone can tell me, I will bid for it.!!

If it's a twin pump set up in one package then Grundfos do a replacement but it's eye-wateringly expensive! A similar set up can be achieved if you have a working knowledge of relays and put two separate pumps in (I did it on my parents house).
Stormer can you tell us more - are they actually 2 pumps as I thought .And a link to the grundfos one.
Not "all" SMC pumps are twin-pump, just I know that they were available. Grundfos did do a modern replacement but even that seems to have been discontinued now it seems

Works just like a Y-plan only better. Obviously more expensive to buy and run though.
As far as I remember the SMC thing looked like a pump but had three pipes and was in effect a diverter valve.
The Grundfoss Pump Plan has been discontinued but often are still sold on Ebay etc. Usually about £150-£200 but then there are two pumps inside!
But all that is needed is for any competent heating engineer to fit normal diverter valve.
