There are 2x1uF 250V bipolar electrolytics that I've circled in red on
the image:

I need to replace them as one has started leaking, and polarised caps just
go bang. I don't know enough about electronics to figure out what they do
exactly, but I need to replace them with something else as I cannot find
any 250V replacement bipolar caps (just finding 50V ones). Ideas?

Cheers
Michael

Do you mind if I ask why replace them with the parts you're linking to?
Just curious because apparently 2 caps in series act like resisters or
something.

Sort of.
