In my opinion, this Lucas reputation is completely unfounded and is mostly
the result of poor grounding practices that were the responsibility of the
car manufacturers, yes MG included. If you guys would run your battery
ground from the battery to the engine using a welding cable about the size of
your little finger and then make a jumper of the same size wire to connect
the engine to the frame, and use star washers under every ground connection,
you would most likely never get a visit from the Prince!!
Just my Humble opinion...as I said.....
Lucas just beat out Bosch on a very large VW contract.....so they are very
much alive!
