Appollo Fanfare 30/50i Flue fan Electric Motor?

The Electric Motor on the flue fan has given up the will to live, a replacement assemble costs £374 + Vat. The electric motor on its own, I don't think would be more than £50.
Can anyone tell me where I can get one??
It's a Smiths K3-12-070. if that makes any sense to you.

My Stelrad Ideal W-2000 boiler flue fan failed in December. I diagnosed the fault to a failed bearing, which jammed the K3-12-034.168 electric motor. A pair of new 626-Z (6mm x 19mm x 6mm) bearings cost just £1.92, considerably less than a refurbished fan assembly (which, incidentally, is no longer manufactured).
