Why didn't you believe the people who said that they couldn't help you with a replacement water container? They don't keep these parts as spares because it's not commercialy viable to do so, it would cost you as much as, if not more than a new iron would cost to buy and post the container, then you would have to figure out how to remove the old one and fit a new one, catch my drift. Just buy a new iron, and remember, they don't make spares for them any more, so, when the're dead, recycle them, simples!
