Are these things available new anywhere?
(Hella part number 004 538 I think).
One of mine broke yesterday ...
The arms still seem to move freely so I think it was probably just that the plastic had become brittle and snapped where it clips into the metal bracket.
Fortunately I just happened to have a brand new inlet manifold, complete with actuators (all my parts-hoarding just had to start paying off some day!). So I've robbed an actuator off of that and I'd like to replace it, preferably with a brand new actuator, to make my spare inlet manifold complete again.
