As long as I can remember, Lucas automotive electrical components have engendered both positive and negative comments. Some of the negative comments are: * The Lucas motto: Get home before dark. * Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit. * Lucas Inventor of the first intermittent wiper. * Lucas Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp. * The three position Lucas switch Dim, Flicker and Off. * The Original Anti-Theft Device Lucas Electrics. * Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices * Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency. * I have had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never had any trou * If Lucas made guns, wars would not start .. My USA mate has owned British cars and motor bikes over the decades and recently came across a set of Lucas Electric Test Cards from the 1970's. The full set may be downloaded from the following links: Lucas Test Card 1 Diagnosing Ignition System
Lucas Test Card 2 Diagnosing the Starting System
Lucas Test Card 3 Diagnosing A.C. Charging Systems
Lucas Test Card 4 Diagnosing D.C. Charging Systems
Lucas Test Card 5 Diagnosing Opus Electronic Ignitions
Lucas Test Card 6 Diagnosing Constant Energy Electronic Ignition
Certainly worth keeping............. * | ||||||||

I have a shirt that says: Why do the British drink warm beer? Lucas makes their refrigerators. | ||||||||

Some might be amused by this humorous take on an eBay auction, with Q&A at the end, for the Lucas Smoke Replacement Kit.
