    2ohm resistor from Maplin - probably about 10p. Bend / trim the legs so you can push it down into the orange airbag connector. Insulation tape/ heatshrink it in place. Jobs a goodun.

    Nah, just tell them at the desk you want a 2ohm (or as close to that as you can get) resistor and they'll get what you need.

    Pretty sure this is them - http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=341668.

    Can't see a 2ohm, but could try a 1.8 and 2.2 - one of them will work.
