Thanks for responding will see what i can pick up capacitor wise.
Sorry for asking the same question that Ferdinand kindly responded

forgotten that he had given me detail on the possible 2nd fix if the

Yeah, but pretty expensive. Are you in the UK. I can probably dig out a 5nF and mail it to you, for free. You might want to try Electronics Goldmine and get a assortment for a $1 or $2.
