Hello chap's

I need to replace the LH side part of the handbrake cable (Passenger side), I brought a new part from a motorfactors however when i went to fit it i realised what i had was completely different in both length and design.

Whats on the car is a plain bit of cable with a threaded bar on one end and a loop on the other.

The motorfactors gave me a shorter cable with a plastic cover. Not sure if this is a different design or they made a mistake. Either way it don't fit

There are different cables depending on the year/number of your car:
