Is a linkage for something or other related to throttle / vacuum and it would appear the plastic shoe has gone missing on mine so i need to order a new one. Trouble is i have no idea what it is called to start looking for one!

Instantly recognisable to DW12 owners
That's the control arm for the swirl flaps. The rod goes to an actuator which moves the arm forwards for flaps open, and back for flaps closed.

Re: What is this thing called?
Last one I bought, (from Pug), was £23 or so. They don't last indefinitely - usually the diaphragm splits, but sometimes the linkage snaps.
FYI, Over on the coupe forum, they're discussing doing away with these too at the moment.
(I'm perched comfortably on the fence awaiting concensus, as per usual).
