but the cop cars I have seen are unmarked and all you get to see is the blue lights hidden behind the grills when they start to flash with the headlights when they are in pursuit.

Unless you have Target Blu Eye fitted (TETRA Comms detection), and then you'd know they were there from half a mile away. 

One thing I did learn on my patronisation course is the sort of distances their gear works over.  Not sure half a mile would be enough 

My last set of points were picked up at just under 700m, as I came over the brow of a hill


And, yes, I am a reformed character, and I was officially doing less than 70mph on a rural dual carriageway.  Its just I refuse point blank to obey HS2's stupid road speed limits they have whilst they spend 4 years to build a single bridge.  There is no need for the speed restriction, as, lets face it, they are definately "working out of sight", just not anywhere near the bloody unfinished bridge.

Any auto shop (though get a feeling Halfords don't do correct wattage)

Is it backlights or warning indicator lamps that are blown?

Director General and News Chief Executive have just resigned.
Excellent. 

I see that he had a car and a chauffeur, paid for out of the licence fee, and he very often stayed in a hotel in London instead of travelling the 40 miles home each night, again at the expense of the licence fee.

Personally we wouldn't need one , totally legal & neither of us break the speed limits anymore,we pay enough to run/maintain our vehicles & certainly don't want to contribute any more cash in fines.

Me neither.    I tend to watch my speed constantly now, particularly on motorways. As you say, it’s not worth the aggro anymore.

Don't know if anyone has followed this Jag XJC V12

Harry bought it for something like £5000 or £6000, spent a shed load on it £70odd thousand IIRC & then when sold went for silly money.

Thanks for the replies chaps. Really appreciated. Thanks for your offer, TB…May take you up on that 😀👍🏻 I’m in Dorset until the end of the month, so won’t be around until then. Thanks for your fine explanation DG, but after my surprising success to change the wing, I think I have used up my cleverness for the time being.

Obvious next question, where do you get the bulbs from nowadays, or is it a scrappy job👍🏻

Very rarely see a Police car on our motorways nowadays.

Don't use the motorways very often but the cop cars I have seen are unmarked and all you get to see is the blue lights hidden behind the grills when they start to flash with the headlights when they are in pursuit.
