Does anyone know where to order the heater resistor UB5C-5.6-ND for the J Head nozzle. I couldn't find anything similar on Farnell or Radio Spares. [www.reprap.org]

A what resistor? These heater resistors are standard, wirewound 6.8 or 5.6 ohms 3 watts resistors. A type with enamelled coating is recommended, for example this one: [de.rs-online.com]

Thanks Traumflug, I should have put a more specific link, [www.reprap.org].

Yep, that component would do the job, I've also found the equivalent 5.6ohm 5W resistor on Farnell. I must have been half asleep the first time I searched!

Both ones we've found seem longer and thinner than the UB5C-5.6-ND, but I suppose I can machine the Jhead nozzle to fit =)
