yes mate those are the parts you will need. I have done mine a few time back and most probably it is only the long part that is broken but then might as well change all parts. just make sure you keep the order and way of how the parts go in each other because I had to remove the other lock to follow on it

Don't get the kit from Ebay either, it's cheaper directly from your dealer. I think I paid about £12 for the kit.
