New here: https://www.britishparts.co.uk/land-...actuator-p2180 and also available from Land Rover dealers but does not include the arms like Audi repair set.
Yes, I was going to say P38 cruise control.
B5/C5 cable throttle cruise control actuators might be similar too:
8D0907327

That 077* part number is generic VW, so would also be used on other models. Would have thought supply and demand would drive the unit price down!

Meh - the plastic arms are crap!
Gruven arms (which I have fitted) haven't been that good in my experience, as one keeps popping off (rhs facing engine). In Gruven's defense they did offer to replace the offending arm if it kept happening - I must get back in touch...
In fairness, that arm does not sit at 90° between the vac actuator and flap lever with the flap lever about 5mm or so to the rear of the horizontal plane across the manifold. The forward trust this induces on it may be contributing to the arm popping off the flap lever.

The best arms I've seen yet are the Polish eBay metal ones with the spring lock ball cups. You can make your own to a similar design too.
