I'm looking to replace several faulty (leaked) caps on an Abit KA7-100
motherboard. These are both 6.3v 1500 and 2200uf types, rated at 105C. Would
using 85C replacements be a bad idea or could I get away with it?

Also I'm looking for good sources for cheap capacitors in the UK - any
recommendations?

Thanks

Stick with the 105C caps, the 85C will fail in short order.

I don't know about cheap but Maplins www.maplin.co.uk or RadioSpares
rswww.com might do these.
