I have a myson cp53 central heating pump.

Twice now the central heating has not started up in the morning.

First time - Few weeks back, I had to reset the boiler and it fired up.
Second time - Yesterday, the heating did not come on in the afteroon. The boiler is a worcester greenstar RI 15. The blue light would be solid and the green would come on and then go out. I left it until this morning and thankfully it fired up again.

However, I now notice a continuous scratching, kind of dirt rolling around inside noise coming from the heating pump. Video attached (note: you may need to turn up the volume to hear the sound).

Recommendations? As far as I know, it's never been replaced since the house was purchase by my parents in the 1980s. Or perhaps it was replaced in the late 1990s/early 2000s? My mother has no recollection of anything.

Question:

If I do replace. Do I replace with a like for like. Or are there recommendations for a more up-to-date pump?

Please note. I will be doing the change myself and thus want the electrical wiring to be exactly the same.

Many Thanks!


 
Another data point. My radiators are piping hot. Scalding to the touch.

Does this mean my boiler is overheating?

Would this pump be a suitable replacement?

Circulating pump Grundfos UPS2 15-50/60 130mm

Many thanks for any answers.
