Hi
The only problems I've ever had with Lucas was there fuel pumps,
ignition coils, distributors, alternators and fuse holders.
The Magneti Marelli stuff was actually a little better. I
never had issue with the alternators ( regulators were junk )
but then I never had an Italian car with an electric fuel pump.
For switches, the worst I ever encountered were used in
Audi's.
