I think the resistor is incorporated in the heat blower unit. I am guessing here, I was able to buy the whole unit for £10 from a breakers yard. I had previously been sold a MK 4 unit which can be utilized but you will have to do a bit of modification to it. The MK4 unit is a tad smaller and the blow hole apertures bigger so I just sealed it with foam and I think I used a penny washer to secure the unit which is smaller. It worked for 10 years, and then I decided to get a proper MK5 unit. So do beware that unscrupulous breakers will palm you off with a Mk 3 or Mk 4 unit for a Mk5 unit and then will not entertain you with a refund. Whilst arguing the MK5 unit the breakers stole my radio and rear Pioneer speakers which 10 years were expensive and sought after. I have always found breakers yards to unscrupulous no ethics at all. Sorry about the rant.
