Default SDS Drill brushes

I bought a cheapo (McKeller) SDS drill about a year ago. I haven't
used it very often but, when I have, it's been incredibly useful
(makes chases and cutting holes for electrical boxes a breeze).
Yesterday it stopped working (stuttering and sparking). It came with
a spare pair of brushes - changed them and it was fine.
Now - the question is, where can I get some more? If I can't, then its
days are numbered and (shock horror) I might be forced to go and buy a
good one. I got it when a branch of Focus was closing down, so no
point in going back there (!) and I somehow doubt that another branch
would carry them. Googling mostly brings up wire brushes for drills,
rather than carbon brushes: I thought I might find 'carbon brushes
are us.co.uk' but no such luck...
Does anyone know of a good source?
