Have a look at the universal bag type ones, pretty sure someone would have one, failing that it's hidden down in the wing so any you could stuff in there and zip tie in place would work as it'll still wash the screen just careful of speed bumps and potholes unless it's zipped in tight.

This may sound odd but if you can fit a plastic milk pint bottle on there and secure it with tape/ cable ties, you can punch a small hole in the lid for the tube to go into, its a pretty ghetto fix but will work for.MOT purposes, so long as you eventually get a proper replacement.. unless somebody does have a replacement to send sooner . Good luck.

What's wrong with your current one? Is it not fixable/patch-up-able?

Moved to wanted section and changed thread title.
Are there no 5th's in Aberdeen scrappy's? I think one of the problems is that the pump is built into the bottom of the bottle.

Ah, so not seperate removable pumps like on a 4th then?
So is it the pump that isn't working and not the "bottle" itself that needs replacing?

The car took a whack to the passenger side so I'd assume the bottle was broken and probably took the pump with it. I only mentioned the pump as there might be a problem attaching the pump to a universal bottle, if the pump survived.
I'd be supprised if there isn't a 5G in the scrappy's. Those oil rich Aberdonians love their cars. Its the only place I have seen a Zonda on the road
