At a guess it's a RD-M560. Any 6/7/8/9 speed Shimano MTB rear mech will do the job, so long as it has the same cage length and doesn't have an integrated gear hanger.

As the teacher say read the question

I am looking for the shifter or gear changer rear

Seven speed cheap shifters are not that easy to find. If you want a cheap shifter then I think that you may have to use an 8 speed.

Am i correct in saying 5/6/7/8 shifters will work on each other?

Not sure about 5 & 6 speed but 7 & 8 do work with 8 speed shifters.

What sort of shifter (gear lever in old speak)? Down tube mount, thumb shifter?

edit - if thumb then Sunrace is cheap cheap cheap http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-shifter ... e=1&page=1

No the import bit is say but never mind.

I assume these shifters are for a flat handlebar.

CRC sells Altus trigger shifters:-

There's some going on eBay for a tenner if you want cheaper ...D'oh! Gaz beat me to it.

Perhaps if you had omitted the word 'derailleur' from the title and simply said: ‘Shimano Deore LX rear shifter for 7 speeds’ then that may have avoided some of the initial confusion.

Only the left hand (i.e.front) are in stock at CRC. The only "in stock" 7 speed options I have spotted, from my usual suspects, are Altus sets integrated with V brake levers (£25 at Tredz or £28 at Evans), Tourney thumb shifters (£15 at Tredz) or Deore XT thumbshifters (£86 at SJS!).

That's funny, I could have sworn it was in stock this morning. Not to worry as you can get them a bit cheaper from eBay, as I'd already mentioned in my post. The Woolly Hat Shop currently has +10 in stock in their eBay shop.
