20uF Capacitor

Bit of a long shot but could I replace the 20 uF capacitor shown in the photo with a generic 20uF capacitor (the type sold on fleabay for a few quid)?

It's from a small Clarke compressor and searching google for "Geofarad 20uF" turns up nothing. I've emailed Clarke for a price for a replacement but would like a 2nd option if they take the mickey with the price.

The one pictured on this site seems to be a good replacement regarding size -

Best check the minimum AC voltage with them, I can't read what it's rated at.

Just blown up the picture, looks like 240VAC

I should think ones on fleabay would suit if of the correct voltage rating.
