| ![]() Actually radar detectors are not illegal like akshay1234 said. I have seen them for sale in a lot of car stores in Delhi (dont buy them! they are usually the cheap Chinese stuff that give false alarms most of the time). Order a good quality radar detector Online. Some good companies are: Whistler, Cobra, Escort, Beltronics. You can get a good radar detector online for about Rs. 8000 - Rs. 12000. Amazon.com usually ships to India and it should be good place to get a cheap price. |

| ![]() Radar detector in India ! Its pretty unheard of, I have never come across anyone having one in Bombay atleast. How well will it actually work here since most of the cops patrol on bikes. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have one but rarely use it due to too many false alarms in our conditions. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Two of my friends have it here. We used to use it a couple of years back but dont do so anymore. The cops just dont get in the way seeing Monsters approaching at high speeds. |

| ![]() Radar detectors are usually helpful sometimes especially because they have speed traps now around town (delhi). I know of 3 speed traps on the delhi-noida expressway. The radar detector gives u a heads up ahead of time letting u know about these traps. Usually if you get caught speeding, the speed traps notify the cops that will stop either at the next traffic light or toll station (delhi-noida expressway). I have gotten 2 speeding tickets when I didnt have the radar detector. |

Better still, post some pics as well. @ Sahil. They usually stand on the phoenix flyover, marine drive and worli seaface townside with handheld radars. i usually see them too late and duck behind a truck or bus and avoid detection till i slow down. If you don't pull over if when the catch you and ask you to stop, then they follow on bikes. Last edited by Tejas@perioimpl : 18th November 2008 at 14:31. | |

Regular or Premium diesel? I've heard standard diesel is recommended |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Regular. BMW has been known to refuse warranty for defects they claim are caused by using premium diesels. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I haven't come across any manafacturer who proactively promotes premium fuel. Almost all of them vociferously recommend regular diesel |
