I joke about Lucas electrics mostly due to the high
price and shortage of spares on this side of the pound.
BUT as for leakers, thats no joke, I have seen oil drip pans under new cars in the
showroom.
I've not really had as much trouble with Lucas electrics fitted to cars
as with Magneti-Marelli electrics on Italian cars (I would have dearly
loved to have crashed our old Fiat Regatta Weekend into something heavy,
had it been capable of running for more than a few minutes or going
faster than walking pace). One of my Landrover-owning friends makes
uncalled-for remarks about the suspension on my Citro?ns leaking oil -
bloody cheek, since the suspension is about the only thing on the Landie
that *doesn't* leak oil!
