manifold actuator arms and bellows 2002 S8
 

I have looked through previous posts for the replacement of the actuator arm and bellows.
mine is a 2002 S8.
is there any up to date info for arms that work? as the last posts date back a couple of years.
also bellows, is there a part no., and where could I source them from.
many thanks

Replaced mine with the Ali ones from gruvenparts

There also used to be metal rose jointed ones on eBay from Poland or somewhere.
A bit difficult to install due to the metal licking pin, but work well.

I don't know a part number, but I believe the bellows are identical to P38 or similar vintage Range Rover cruise control ones.

I thought that the idea of the plastic ones was that they would break if the bellows mechanism started to stick, But if you fit metal ones, you risk damaging the bellows mechanism.

But I’ve been wrong before!

I’ve got a little stash of the plastic ones that I bought some years ago, on ebay I think, with a minimum order of 2 or 3 pairs.

These ebay links may help but I am unsure of compatibility so please do your research.

a belated thanks for the links.
i eventually bought the metal links you had highlighted which arrived from Poland.

fitted and problem solved.
the bellows works perfectly.
