I can strongly recommend Car Comfort Centre in Alphen aan den Rijn. They installed the Vector in my merc and did a couple of satnav jobs on my trucks.
Do a search on the internet for prices. Around 500 GBP I'd say. I'd be happy to send one over for you.

This might be interesting, the address is in Naarden.

Radar in the UK is a waste of time, imo. By the time the detector picks up a valid signal, they've already got you! Better off with a good GPS based system, and keeping your eyes peeled.
