I've never learnt to drive, but I did all the servicing and repairs on my late father's cars for over 40 years. My father would typically keep a car for 10 years or more. Some of the cars were British with Lucas electricals, others came from other European countries with electrical parts from all over the world, In that time I had 2 alternators fail (both regulator assembly problems), One was Lucas, the other Mitsubishi, One starter motor failed (worn brushes), I forget who made it but not Lucas. Obviously, bulbs, etc failed from time to time. But I do not regard Lucas as significantly less reliable than other manufacturers. To get this sort-of on-topic Lucas Industries (same company) owned Nascom at one point I think. -tony
