I was going to say what Jennyb said (although the manual did give me a chance to see if my french was still up to scratch
).
When I had a problem with my Ixus (a dust speck, which I decided I could live with after all) I just phoned canon.
Have you seen
Cameras2u.com? they were the cheapest place I found for my EOS 350D and the service was very quick so you might want to have a look and see if they've got what you're after.
....and you'll get the manual in English (yay!)
