Horst Linkage Screw Loose

Hi all,
Back in June I bought a Radon Slide AM 7.0 from bike-discount.de. Today, 2 days before I'm due to cycle the Forest of Dean, I noticed after 2 weeks of not having ridden the bike that I am missing a screw from the horst link on the bike. Previously screws elsewhere on the bike were loose (brake rotors), when I noticed this I checked the other suspension screws and some of them were loose too... not great.
Below are two pictures to illustrate: Picture 1 shows exactly where and what is missing. Picture 2 is from the website (replacement bushings/links) and highlights the exact screw I need and where it goes.
I basically need to know if I will be able to source this screw in the UK within the next 2 days....? Help! :?

Crazy times.
It's probably an M5 bolt, but, take the other bolt to an industrial bolt shop and get an exact match.
FWIW that's not a horst link.
