Anyone selling mains power factor correction capacitors?
They should work, but I would want to use a meter which measured power
factor to check that they were not over correcting, which would cost
money.

The little 13A plug in power meter adaptors that Maplin sell and also Aldi,
Lidl from time to time will read either volt-amps or watts and show power
factor and accumulated cost. A old style Sky box has a power factor of
about 0.6 and draws 15VA which is well OTT.
