There's nothing wrong with that voltage rating. Why do you think they
have a
working voltage rating ?

We've had this conversation before Graham. As a service engineer, which
you, I think, are not, I can only go by experience. The caps which
regularly fail, are (most) always rated just a couple of volts above what
they are actually running at. Now I know full well that you believe this
to be a nonsense, but I'm sure that anyone else on here who is regularly
involved in actually repairing the stuff, will tell you the same. It might
be some kind of anomaly in your reckoning, or even not possible to your
mind. That doesn't alter the fact that it is true. It might just be a
physical size versus internal heat issue. I just don't know, but it is so,
whether you believe it or not.

Other than this, I don't want to get into the discussion, as it's not what
the thread is about, and the last thing we need is another one
degenerating into a ridiculous flame war, as you get madder and madder,
and all the usual suspects jump in to have a pop at you ...

Does the 2v headway allow for noise spikes. Tants often fail this way.
