I have tried every setting I can think of but I now think I need some kind of electric pump to keep the pressure constant while I shower, and suggestions would be apprected

Yes, many gas boilers are sensitive to pressure, and will cut out if pressure dips. A pump needs a tank first, and the whole system could set you back a 1000. You might be better off switching to an electric tank, you can get reasonable electric 80-100l tanks with WiFi at around 200. WiFi let's you run it at times you prefer, at temp you prefer.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post, I hadn’t thought of electric and I don’t know anyone who could install this system for me. I’m not very good with diy but would be prepared to pay for install

Pop into a plumber (fontanera), they might be able to both sell and install . Or check ewn ads. I don't live in Mojácar, hence don't know plumbers in the area.
