Anyone got an automatic gearbox speedo cable

Is this what you are after: https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-replaceme ... 1497629696

No, that's the gear leaver, I need the speedometer cable for an automatic gearbox

There is no difference between cables for manual, or Auto gearboxes. The cables are in two parts, upper and lower and yours being a 1992 car will have the speed sensor in the centre of the cable, not mounted on the gearbox.
Your car will have the speed sensor has both male screw fittings, both cables have female fittings

There are three types of sensor and cable setups for Hydractive Xm.
Type-1: Sensor mounted on the gearbox, cables having male/female joint.
Type-2: Sensor mounted midway, cables having male/female connections.
Type-3: Sensor mounted midway, cables having female/female connections.

Member XM2.0SiAuto had some upper cables made up, but I believe they were all male connector type.

The easiest option is going to be have a cable made to match the one you have.

Have you investigated the failure, it's common for the plastic grip at the top of the cable to break off and this can easily be repaired with lock wire and epoxy adhesive.
If removing the complete upper cable attach a webbing taper to the top end by tying and taping over it, then pull through into the engine bay. Refitting is a case of tying and taping the taper to the new cable and pushing/pulling it through. It's a five minute job if done right.
