Could be in the wrong way - there are sometimes a log end and a short end to the thread...

nope, the whole stud is as long as the bit of stud thats supposed to be showing out of the head if that makes any sence?? and also neither threaded end is as long as the long end of one of the studs already in the head

sorted, apparently the parts are in the wrong place all the way back at vw in scotland where they get theyre stock from..... so i should have better have the right one tomorrow morning
