Ah well, good luck with fitting it. I have tried many ways, at least went to the garage, even they couldn't place it on the right place. Thing keep falling off. You can't push it in the three holes, you need to pull it in from the other side and that is not possible.
Now it is placed where the traction control belongs, (haven't got one).

Why is it not possible? the actuator sits on a bracket held on by two 10mm headed bolts.

The OP says the actuator is allready placed, it is the vacuum pump wich he want to place. That one is mounted on a bracket, that's right but that is allready done. He spokes about three rubber pins, these are on the bracket and need to push into three holes on the right place. That's the problem, you need to pull them from the other side. How?

You need to remove the bracket from the car and assemble it on the bench, get the rubbers in the actuator first and then fit the actuator to the bracket and then bolt the whole lot back on. washing up liquid should ease the beggars into place. If any of the rubbers are beginning to split, a dab of superglue will fix them.
