Full marks to that man! It worked a treat. Now I just have to
find time to complete the task and start fault-finding.

The capacitor on the one I repaired was a charred lump. I can dig up the
supplier detail if helpful.

Thanks Tim, that would be useful to know.

Capacitor for garden shredder (Bosch?) was made in Italy!

Replacement from Hi-Wire Ltd. ( www.hi-wire.co.uk)

ref.MC1998 Motor run cap 20MF 450V stud mount & plastic cap.

Cost 16/08/2011 £3.22 carriage £9.50 plus VAT came to £15.26

ARAIR CPC did something similar.
