Question

I am looking to buy a radar detector, but dont want to spend more than £100.

Whats the best you can get for that sort of money? There are loads on ebay - mainly Cobra 9 band ones and also Whistler ones.

Anyone got either of these? Are they any good?

Cheers

I picked up a leaflet about Road Angel the other day - had a picture of Tiff Nedell on it saying haow great they are!! Not sure if that put me off or not?!!

So, I really need to spend a few hundred notes then, and subscribe yearly for the updates?

Looks like that the way forward possibly

As far as I am aware, all the cheaper radar detectors are almost useless due to constant false alarms.....you end up just switching them off....
