Don't see why a left hand drive one shouldn't work. Best best is to take your old cable into the motor factors and try and find one with the same end fittings (or at least end fittings which are similar enough to work) and as long or longer than the old one. Also look at why it broke, it tends to be excessive heat from routing too close to the exhaust, so try and route the new one further away if possible. Also you might want to try getting a longer one to see if this helps. A lot of people use Transit or Cosworth Sierra cables as they are longer than the standard Sierra one, don't know any part numbers off hand, but I'm sure someone will.

Welcome to the forum.

P.S. Try and put topics in the right sections, ie this one should really be in Mechanics not Chit Chat, it helps people answer your questions.
