Hi Guys

My trusty Escort detector of 2 years, has of recent been flashing Sel Calibration required.

Cheers

Self cal is the first stage, you might get service required later which renders ur escort useless. If you bought from delonixradar (jezza) I know he'll replace it straight away otherwise good luck! For everyone else with no warranty keep it out of the sun!!!

I don't know with the escorts, but i had a BEL that used to spit up random errors and shit when it was hot. IE when you left it on the windscreen. If you put it in front of the air con and let it cool, it worked fine...

yeah from reading around i get the impression its the heat/cool cycle that seems to kill them over time, Jezza has kindly offered a replacement while he sends mine for servicing so will see how we go.

Has served me for a good 2 years, push comes to shove i might just cough up for the new Escort 9500.

Jas, don't get the 9500 - they are shit at detecting Multanovas.
