A little update. I tried using the cold water pressure to back flush it like mentioned above by Muggles.
This appears to have stopped the coughing and spluttering (thanks Muggles) and the pump is kicking in and for NOW its continuing to run but...
Im not convinced the hot water is coming out with quite as much pressure as before and when i turn the thermostatic control for the shower to max hot its hot but but no where near as hot as it should be. The hot from the basin tap feels noticeably hotter than pure hot water from the shower almost like some cold is getting mixed with it whether i like it or not.
One of the previous plumbers swapped out the cartridge in the thermostatic could this be causing the variance in hot-ness?
Once more, many thanks to all of you for your comments i really do appreciate them. Ive spent a small fortune on this over the last year in fees and parts so im determined to get this sorted and i can only do that with you guys, so thanks.
