1. Am i correct in assuming the value of one of the resistors in the top of the pic is 10r 5w?

2. Can i replace a 11w resister with the same ohm 10w ?? Wat difference will the 1w make?

Many thanks

Looks like a 10 ohm resistor of 5% tolerance.
Likely to be a 10w resistor, generally the longer the resistor the higher the wattage rating but if in doubt just fit a 12w or 15w unit assuming they fit in the space.
 
Edit-
This should do the trick, though hunt around a bit because they can be had for a lot less:-

cheers for that, so whats the difference between a 10w & 11w
what difference would it make if i swapped one for another assuming the other values stayed the same?

I wouldn't have thought it mattered much. A 10W western-made resistor is probably better than a chinese 11W resistor, chinese vs british watts etc

How common are 11W resistors? I´ve seen plenty of 5-10-15-20W, etc. I don´t see the point. If 10W is too small, just go to 15W. There really isn´t that much difference in the size.   Confused

11w is a very unusual rating and as Kevin says a British or European 10w unit would no doubt be fine.

what does the 10W actually do in a resistor?
