Do you mean when the boiler is switched off by the programmer? Older
systems will often have the pump running while the boiler cycles. On those
the two aren't really interdependent - the pump is controlled by the room
stat while the boiler by its own.

Does anyone know, if I purchase a new programmer, if this has the pump
overrun facility on it or do I have to find the fault, "solenoid or
relay?" in the original Timer/programmer.


Pump overrun devices are usually part of the boiler rather than programmer.

Of course Servowarm tended to have a mind of their own. ;-)

I'm just wondering if his timer is a Horstman 424 - one version of which
(the emerald?) had a bimetalic pump overrun integrated into it

OP - you are just going to have to dig in a bit deeper and have a look
