I've found that RS componets in the UK do most of the caps I want but the 1500uF seems to be non existant in this country. How critical is it for the cap to be exactly this value? Would a 1200uF or a 2200uF be acceptable in its place? The m/b is an epox 8rda+.

I've checked with digikey and they say they will supply low quantites but I'm guessing once post and packing is added it will work out rather expensive so a local solution is preferable.

Cheers m8, were you able to order in quantities of anything less than 200 parts? seems like 200 in the minimum order level = 50 quidish just for one size

After reading about this capcitor debacle I Noticed my Epox 8rda+ has two bulging caps next to the mosfets, 2200uF ones. Found this site and am seriously thinking about replacing all the caps. What I would like to know from an UK based guys who have done this, where did you get your caps from? I've looked at RS and Farnell but they only have a few caps available in 10mm diameter, most of the larger capacitances start at 12.5mm.

Accoriding to another post on these forum, the required caps for my m/b are:

4 off 2200uF 10v 10mm
6 off 3300uF 6.3v 10mm
6...
