    Depends. You MAY be able to replace it with a similar one from the same manufacturer.
    Definite no no's:
    Mixing between manufacturers (e.g. Shimano/SRAM/Campy)
    Mixing between different cassette sizes (e.g. using a 9 cassette rear shifter on a 10 cassette rear derailleur, there are exceptions to this rule)
    Mixing road and mountain bike parts (again there are exceptions to the rule)
    Possibles:
    Replacing using a shifter with one from the same manufacturer of a different year or range (e.g. you can replace a Shimano 105 5500 brifter with a brand new Shimano Ultegra 6700 brifter)
    The key word you are looking for when checking compatibility is indexing, is the pull on the shifter the same between your old and new shifter? Also if you're swapping brifters (brake+shifter combination units, found on road bikes) then you need to check the brake indexing as well or swap the brakes to match the new pull of the new brifter.
    Of course if its a cheapo K-mart friction shifter, any friction shifter should be ok.
    Do you have any more details of what your shifter is? If you've never tried your hand at bike maintenance, replacing a shifter is not a beginner level task. You should be familiar on how to replace shifting cables as you'll need to take the whole cable out and reinsert it to replace the shifter. You can recycle the cable, but they're relatively cheap compared to the shifter it might be worthwhile replacing the cable as well as if it's frayed/old it can also stuff up the shifts.
    I would not buy a single shifter from Jensen; it'd be cheaper to get one from wiggle, bike24, ribble or any other UK/European bike store.
    Generally I've found Jensen to be only really cheaper for USA brand stuff, e.g. Park Tool TS-2 wheel truing stand (a god send if you've ever tried to true a wheel in its frame or used a cheapo truing stand, also the bare minimum to build your first wheel without having a mental breakdown) or a really nice USA bike maintenance stand (e.g. any of Feedback sports' nicer stands, the cheaper (relatively) ones are probably cheaper from Bike24)

    Thanks Serrin for those helpful information, you got me there … I never done bike maintenance in my life. I've had changed the tire/tube a dozen times. And that is about it. I got a quotes from a bike shop for $200+ for the maintenance + new stuffs.

    Im charging the camera to take some pic of the shifter.

  I was looking to upgrade my groupset, pity Jensen's don't sell 105's.
  Can anyone suggest the cheapest place to get 105's? I was looking at Ribble, anyone used them before?

    Ribble is good. Try Wiggle and Chain Reaction Cycles, and also compare Pushy's (local postage).

      Thanks, I've used Wiggle and Chain Reaction before but haven't used Pushy's before, thanks for the tip

        Also give Merlin Cycles a quick browse. I brought my 5800 group off wiggle for $500 recently, Merlin had them as low as $400 for complete group at start of this year.

        @ShamelessBargains: thanks, i had a search around yesterday and saw a few forums recommending Merlin, it looks like Ribble are the cheapest atm but their prices went up from $430 to $460 in the last few days.
        How hard was it to replace the whole groupset on your bike? I was quoted $350 to do this from my local bike shop and they said its a full days work

        @emerson: Got a mate to do it. Tbh look at getting a new bike with 105 unless you really love your frame. $1500 will buy you a quality roadie with 105 brand new.
