Having had no knowledge of a charcoal canister, and having now acquainted myself with it, I can say with some new-found authority (the forum

I'd also thought of a split pipe - probably plastic - as a repair but using two halves is probably a better solution. I happen to have a length of exhaust pipe so will mull it over whilst finishing the parking sensors job.

Great info, thanks. I'll strip out the wheel arch liner and deal accordingly.
Thanks for all the input. Forum to the rescue as always.
Dougie.
