Many thanks for the replies, looks like I'll get one when I pick up my new (one of the last) type R's next week. I know it's a bit late.
PS: are they easy to fit, or do you need to get them fitted ???

Best get this months MAX POWER Mag.
Not for the crap cars or the tarts, which there is plenty of but they have a big review of Jammers/detectors, WH Smiths at London Bridge has or had an open copy last night for people to read.
Cheers

I've had a radar detector for about 10 years. I bought it from the States whilst on holiday. It's been excellent and has saved me from a speeding fine about 10 times and stopped me crashing into badly marked road works on back lanes a couple of times too. In the open it has about 1-2 miles range but relies on a car being that distance infront of you (so the copper transmits at that car and you detect it). About 0.5 in town but it's difficult to interpret the indications. You have to get used to them, get to know where they tend to go off and then any indications outside the norm you slow down for.
I wouldn't be without it now, you get such a great feeling doing the correct speed as you pass the copper especially when you know he could hear yoy coming.
I think the law is that it's not illegal to own or use a radar detector but illeagal to act on the advice it gives, daft really. Sorry it's been a long post but hopefully worth it.
