Speedometer cable

Hi I ordered a speedo cable for my Mk VII 1997 Cabriolet it measures 850mm in length but its too short ?

When I took the old one out I noticed this ? Now I have no speedo until I get a new one,  the old one is still attached at the engine bay end so haven't measured it correctly but all the websites say this length ( 850mm ) is for my car but the old one is nearer 1400mm in length ?  I got fed up after discovering this so just put the dash back together so I could drive her,  I now have to order a new one but no one is listing this length ? HELP Please why have they all got it wrong ? 

Its left hand drive but all the sites know this as I am trying to order from European sites

Is there an OEM No. I can use to find the correct one from somewhere

while I am on the subject is there a site that lists all the Ford Escort parts and OEM Nos with diagrams anywhere for futue use as I am always finding there is too many products to choose from with different specs for the same car ?

HELP Help Help  required the new cable arrived correct length this time BUT the fitting that goes onto the speed sensor in the engine bay below the starter motor is too big ( 1.9 mm inside diameter ) and the thread is a different type ??

I know I could get a secondhand one from a breakers but would like a new one just to be sure I'm not buying one with the same problem as the car is 21 years old 

again the website above quotes it fits my car but again it does not can anyone help me find the correct part ?

OEM No. 7332146

1422 mm in length

Connected  to speed sensor,  outside of sensor thread size  ( inside of connector ) Diameter = 1.8 mm
