Got the rectifier from my local Maplins and is now fitted. It's twice
the size of the original with bigger spade connectors so had to
replace
the ends of the 4 wires. It was a bit confusing knowing which way
round
the - wires go as the only markings on the new rectifier only
displayed
on one side showing the AC & +. Going round in a clockwise
direction,
if the 1st terminal is AC+, the 2nd terminal is DC+, I connected the
3rd terminal to AC-, and the 4th terminal to DC-

Most bridge rectifier are usually marked: ~ ~ (ac in) + - (dc out).

Looked all round using a magnifying glass but the only marks I could
find were on one edge similar to this pic
