   Maplin or RS components, only cost a few quid.
   I read you need 2x 1.5ohm resistors for the steering wheel airbag plug...I'm assuming you'd need the same resistors for the side bags.

   cool cheers, cause a new seat with air bag is like 70 quid on flee bay and it hard to find another, same pattern cheaper
