angliagt Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 There was an article on the MG 1100/Austin America in Hemmings Sports& Exotic Car 1-2 months ago. Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Owning many British cars over the years,I'm getting tired of hearing the Lucas jokes,at least from people who've never owned one,but are wanting to get a reaction. OTOH,if you've owned one,& had problems caused by Lucas parts,you have room to talk. I've found that most times we replace a worn out Lucas part with a new Lucas- part,& have no problems.Most of the problems come from people working on these cars that don't know how to do it right (The dredded "DPO". The '72 510 I had was the worst car that I've ever owned for electrical problems. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Lucas was universally disliked in North America for their electrical engineering shortcomings on British import cars. Like fram filters, it can't be all misdirected. The '50's term 'Made In Japan' used to mean the poorest quality imaginable. 2 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Mike, I'm not saying that it's not totally undeserved,just that people are quick to blame it on Lucas,when many times it's the "mechanic's" fault. Most problems can be traced to dirty/corroded connections. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 So your argument is what exactly? You hate people telling jokes about something that is in reality true?? I find it funny a guy owns "many" British cars and has never seen one in a junkyard in perfect condition other than the wiring can't be fixed by man nor beast. ... Or has been in a fire that somehow had started from under the hood.. Lupus alternators followed closely by Lupus ignition amplifiers are the worst pieces of shit to ever cross a parts counter. 2 Quote Link to comment

Please reread my post - I said jokes told by people who've never owned a British car.
