The roads are pitch black up there - no street lights and no moon, so I 
would have noticed - but the M1 junction is lit.  I suspect the fuse went as I 
switched the mains down to dipped for the traffic island.  I went round the 
traffic island in a 'spirited' manner, at around 60mph, and then half-slid into 
the slip road down to the M1. The police car was just past the bend in the slip 
road, pulled well in and in darkness.  As I hit the M1, he switched on his 
lights and came down to follow me, which he did for around two miles before 
going pyschedelic. He stopped me from behind, BTW, in line with new practice.

I also have to comment that the fuseholders in the aftermarket auxiliary 
harness could be more solidly constructed.  I replaced a 20A fuse with a 25A, 
so I need to check everything anyway later on.  This is the second problem I've 
had with this harness - a couple of weeks ago it broke one of the plastic 
adjusting levers.
