A thousand distributors and a million retailers in the US have resistors and can get the value you need. Automotive use is probably only 10% of those applications that power resistors are used in. Oh yes, north or south island?

Phil - Firstly determine what you have and what you want and we'll get one for you. Regardless of which island including Tasmania.

Are you able to read ohmic value on your resistor? If so, what is it? If not, are you able to put an ammeter in the coil circuit and read the amount of current through the coil with resistor? Then and only then, read the voltage across the resistor.
