Default Shower pump failing

All of a sudden our 12(?) year old Salamander twin shower pump isn't
sounding quite as smooth as it did. Something of a slight
rasping/child's windmill sound which makes me think it's not in the best
of health and about to give up the ghost.

Do they suddenly give up mid shower, or do they fail gradually?

My crystal ball is away, sorry. Not knowing the actual mechanics of your
pump it would be hard to say. Could be just that some crap has got into it.

It wasn't a request for a prediction of when it would fail but how it
might fail. Suddenly or gradually?

Those with experience might be able to help.
