Really common problem - 2 options to sort, either some Ali arms from the states or check this thread for plastic replacements

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4210

Very simple to replace and should be fine unless they've broken because there's something seized inside your inlet manifold

I presume you mean £6k, unless it was genuinely the bargain of the century?!

Far too little info on spec/condition/history/mileage/recent expenditure to say what it is worth now

Dude, relax.

One of them arms being broken isn't going to destroy your engine, buy some new arms of Nollywood and fit them when they arrive. I bet there are loads of S8 owners driving around with broken actuator arms, blissfully unaware. Why are you getting the ignition system checked? Your worrying about nothing.
