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 :-DOH2

I should think ones on fleabay would suit if of the correct voltage rating.
 
Good find Robbo, looks the one to have.
 
Cheers guys :)

I forgot to subsribe to my own thread....

I'll check out those links now and wait for a price from Clarke.

p.s. google loves this site. This thread is already top 4 for 20uf motor capacitor!
