Anything on tme.eu fit the bill? I might be ordering some stuff from them this week and could add them and post them on.

I don't see a problem with the 1uF film caps (you didn't indicate film type) you might have to go to a higher voltage, Edit:(Panasonic, Wima, Vishay, Epcos etc)...

For the electrolytics, the axial bit is probably your problem, although CPC have a decent quality Vishay one...

Alternatively get radial ones (Panasonic) and bend and sleeve one of the leads...

I don't really understand what your search difficulty is. :-\

Yes but they look like Chinese! I really would prefer European or US makes.

thanks, but they don't have the film type.

Thanks but I've already been through their lists and they do have the Electrolytics but not the film. It's not the material of the film as it's just general purpose application, but it must be axial and no more than 10mm diam, non of theirs are suitable. Once I put all the factors into the search the options are very limited or not suitable. The radial types that are suitable value and voltage wise just won't fit in the location available.
As I mentioned, so far only Rapid have suitable types for both but, Chinese brands! In my experience, not only are capacitors generally the least reliable of all electronic components, Chinese brands are the worst! If I have no choice I will have to go that route, I would just prefer not to!
