I'm puzzled. My Road Angel (Classic) won't pick up the sattelite signals in Bentley but it will in my other cars. Any ideas?

Ray gun proof windscreen. No seriously its the windscreen you need an external ariel. Anyway the Bentleys not fast enough to need road angel surely?

Hereditary speeding peerage used to apply, not so sure since Fritz took over, though.

Ring your local chief super and ask do the new ones still pass muster?

It's very deceptive. When I used to cruise at 70 in the Tuscan you new it was 70 but in the flying "B" it's very easy to make a serious error of judgment!

It wont pick up the signal for the same reason all you can get on the wireless is the home service. Only on a Conti GT it will be Lord Haw Haw.

It will be the screen, you need one of these...

Thanks for this but I'm not sure I want any more cables floating about. I'll have to think whether to have this hard wired or not but then it's all a bit ugly. I wonder if it could tap into the GPS receiver in the car wherever that is!
