Not entirely sure what would be the difference but mine did not have these green plastic bits - like in the video attached. Mine just clipped in in to the one attached to the line and screw on top of it. Unless someone done the mechanizm before and did not put them on.

Thanks Viper just order that kit you linked to, not paying TPS £110 plus vat again.

All done, no dramas once i watched this video to get the cables over the rollers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqIWUrI2VFE&t=664s i know it's a BMW but the rollers are the same. Also i used all the original Audi plastic bits as they looked much stronger and better made than the supplied ones.

I did the same - only used the line itself with the shielding. Everything else stayed original.

Well done, you were relatively lucky that it was the line broken as that is "relatively" easy to replace.
Mine was one of the nylon rollers shattered and that's a right royal PITA.

Can you buy the rollers HPsauce? They appeared to just be rivited to the metal frame.

No idea, but when you look how they're fixed and the stresses they get I wouldn't want to try to replace them.
