Can anyone help me find a start/run capacitor that I think has blown

Metal canister type (so assume run/start).

Part is MLR25 T45 120 4595/1 -MK.
12 MICRO Farrarad
V450
50 Hz

Have part from Amazon same rating as above but plastic and half the size so not sure can use?
Also can't find source for above or an equivalent

Any help appreciated.I

Fit it and see what happens! - if it's got the same value and specification it should work - modern components tend to be smaller than older ones.

No1 with AC start/run capacitors, do NOT replace with Chinese brand origin!
Any local motor winder should have, I use DCE (Cornell-Dubilier) for reliability
At 12uF I would assume that is a run capacitor, oil filled paper, not the dry electrolytic start version.
Must be motor start run/rated.

When the capacitor went on a tumble dryer, I got an identical replacement at a place that fixes domestic appliances. Think it was around US$5.

Don;t know where you are, but you can try searching 12uF 450V motor

There has to be electrical motor builders/repairs supplies in the UK somewhere?

A couple of possibilities, from reputable suppliers:
