Can't afford to , is there a check that can be done to show if at fault.

You most likely wont be able to replace the pump yourself anyway, and may cause loads of problems if you do - fiddling aroung with old heating systems is complicated even for those of us in the know . . .

You could also check yourself - but you have to be aware that if you call in someone and tell them its the pump (and it isnt) you will end up paying more for the job)

Dont second guess, get a proffessional in (ask for a free quote though!)

Have hot water , Have moved the arm on valve to manual and now have heating
but radiators only hot upstairs, cold down stairs, would this suggest the pump

It probably would - the MOV might need a look if you have to move it yourself to open the circuit . . .
