Hi,
I think my pump is faulty as sometimes when I turn up the heating the pump doesn't kick in, definitely getting more frequent and the misses is complaining. After turning up the heating this morning, I noticed the radiators weren't getting warm. When I went into the airing cupboard I could hear the pump very faintly whirring. I tapped it a few times with a screwdriver and then a moment later it kicked into life.
The Pump is about 13 years old, so hopefully, the diagnosis of it being faulty is correct on this one, but please let me know if you think I should investigate other areas. I've already checked for air in the radiators and they are clear.
So when looking for a replacement pump I first went wilo website but on entering the pump name I had no hits. However when I entered GOLD 50 I did, so not sure if the GOLD RS50 is the same pump or not.

If it is the same pump it recommends two options and I have chosen the one below as a direct swappable replacement:
https://www.screwfix.com/p/wilo-stratos-pico-25-1-6-130-glandless-circulating-pump/3019x
Any help on this one would be appreciated before I make the purchase.
Many Thanks
Stephen
