And we have a clear win in the area of automotive electronics. Ever compared the inside of a Lucas alternator to a Delco ?

Ogodno, please not that. I just got though troubleshooting a Jaguar. Found and fixed the problem a few minutes before I was considering drinking all the antifreeze and ending it all. All day for a two dollar diode, and I HAD all the manuals.

Now they probably hate me for fixing it. Lucas, Prince Of Darkness. The alternator is a Bosch, though.

Yes!. The horror! The horror! In a former career I actually repaired Lucas alternators and starters!

As my brother-in-law once said, the Brits are the worlds best at picking a bad design and sticking with it!

Before or after it catches fire?
