    Would it do any harm to connect it? - just so I don't loose it!

    Plugging the terminator in shouldn't do any harm, either will leaving it off, as without any expansion modules, the CAN bus won't be doing much.

    The purpose of it is to stop signals from reflecting/bouncing of the end of the CAN bus wiring, and causing interference.
