Default grub with tail - id please

A primula in a pot was wilting, so I tipped it out and found a couple of
grubs, larger than VW, grey-ey fawn, but most distinctive feature was a
long 'tail' as long as the grub itself. Any ideas?

Bit puzzled by the term tail so this is a bit of a guess but may be one of
the cut worms aka swift moth caterpillars.

No, not a moth larvae.

Sausage shaped thing, no visible legs or pseudo-legs, but from the back
end protruded a very fine hair like thing about the length of the grub
body.
