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

Must order myself a set for Christmas! Glad to hear that it worked.

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.

I finally found time to complete the opening up of my shredder, which was straightforward, and it didn't take long to confirm that the capacitor was the culprit - there was a large lump of melted plastic on its side.
Luckily CPC were offering a free delivery, so it only cost me £6.77.
Now fully working and ready for the next bit of pruning.

Congratulations:-) Your recycle bin will now benefit by 1/2cwt of CPC catalogues!
Apple pruning time if it ever stops raining.
The free delivery for web orders has been permenant for quite a while now.
We don't take a newspaper so the inside pages make great starting paper for the woodburner. The covers are too glossy.
