I need a ceramic disc capacitor for the FM tuner. In the manual it is a 3nf +50 20%500v but all I can find is 3.3nf 500v and not sure if this would do I have picture of the broken one. Can you help direct me to the correct one please

Without knowing the exact function in the circuit it is difficult to say for sure but 3nf 20% covers 2.4nF to 3.6nF. 3.3nF is 10% from 3 so it would almost certainly be OK.
