The way to source your car parts is knowing the part number. Usually the part will have several part numbers. You have to see whether one of the numbers matches yours.

If you ask like that, no one will be able to answer you cos all of us is driving a RH drive car.

If you do not know or have no means to know then your first time buy from local stockist. Then note down the part number on the box. Your next purchase you will be able to source from anywhere, lowest price.

More likely he is driving RHD like us but wants to buy cheaper parts online. Of course engine mounts must be bought new otherwise what's the point, but still cheaper than locally sourced. And that's why he's asking.

You need the part number to be sure. My old merc had a different part number for a LHD and a RHD car. Reason being the steering column passes close to the flywheel area such that the starter has to be on the opposite side to it. I didn’t know if I didn’t check l.

Yes.  Generally.
