   What is this
about hating Lucas over there?  
 In the 1970s, I had extensive experience with auto repair, including very
 poor reliability of 1960s and early 1970s Lucas electrics.  They may very
 well have improved significantly since then, in which case I apologize for
 the nasty comment. 
It's odd, but that's the period I was thinking of. In the 1970's, I 
worked on only Lucas electrical bits on cars, and had no problems at all 
(other than lamp bulbs :-)). In the 1980s, again Lucas, one regulator 
failure. Then in the 1990s, the mostly Mitsubishi stuff (regulator and 
starter motor brush gear). Now, we've got this thing packed with Bosch, 
Marelli, etc modules. I am not looking forward to keeping that lot running...
