What calipers are you using may be a good question to ask before replying with answers

i've got a set on my mk4, and it is the rs2000 mk5 cable that i've used. are the 2wd and 4wd ones the same? perhaps somebody supplied you the wrong one?

just some things to think about

Thanks again all

All the Mk5 RS2000 ones dont have the right loop connection to go over the hook on the caliper/handbrake lever
All seam to only have a bullet end ???

Will have to try another supplier
