Pretty sure it's choice 4. The cable has a small rubber boot on the caliper end, so it's either choice 2 or 4, but the boot on choice 2 seems short compared to pics of the current ones.

I would think either 2 or 4 myself,both of them would probably fit,i would get a pair as they are cheap,might have to get some myself as im sick of the cables freezing up.

Mine are just on the limit of tightness, and they barely hold the car on a hill, so in need of urgent attention. Think I'll go for choice 4 as they're the correct ones.

Yeah number 4 is the right one for your car. I bought the 1616mm cable instead of the 1624mm cable and had to turn the adjuster nut down to get it to fit  :angry:
