Option B?, leave the pump where it is and run a pipe teed in below the pump (outlet) and connect directly into the coil HW inlet after removing the T and inserting a piece of pipe in the horizontal pipe. You should be ae to run it in a way to allow the installation of a motorised valve later for cylinder temperature control.

Or just move the pump to the left and pipe up how I drew it
 
so i think your drawing is exactly how John drew in #43 i think . only thing is vent is in wrong position but does that effect anything ?"

If you look the vent is moved as well
 
Need to move the vent
 
So if i do like John in that image i would need to put another T under flow to coil for vent . right ? does vent location make big impact on heating system ?
You have a combined Vent and cold feed, one vertical pipe in effect, it should connect into the system on the suction side of the pump, reason is, when connected to the suction side, the pump suction will be at the elevation head (height) from the F&E tank surface to the pump suction, say 1.5M or whatever, the pump discharge head will then be pump head + the elevation head, a pump head of say 3.5M+1.5M=5M, all the system at positive pressure. If connected at the pump discharge the pump discharge head will be 1.5M and the pump suction, 1.5M - 3.5M, a negative head of 2M, most of the system under nrgative pressure.
So if you go for the first option you just move this vertical pipe to the left of the pump after also moving the pump as per your own post #40 and thats it. If you go for option 2, my post #43, then the vertical pipe is already to the pump suction and you run the pipe as shown to the cylinder HW inlet.

There is a plasic 1/2" pipe above the combined vent&cold feed, where does that go to? or is it removed and capped somewhere below?. Or ist blanked off and removed at the tank?.
Looks like the mains supply to the ballcock??.

Would i remove NRV then ?
You don't have to but its better to do so and replace it with a gate valve for balancing purposes and before you install (if) a motorized valve you can simply use the gate valve as a cylinder temperature control, on/off or whatever.
