Hi Mike, My vague recollection is that they both do exactly the same job but are physically a different size, so depending on which master cylinder you have you may be only able to fit one type. My ( '87 donor car) Quantum has the very small master cylinder, and a Bosch distributor, so my guess (and it's only that) is that the Lucas one is smaller. Thinking latterally, it may be more feasible to get yours repaired than try to source another - are there still such people as distributor repairers? There's an electrical specialist place in Norwich called Panks who repair starter motors, so maybe.?

My 2+2 has a 1.6 CVH engine from an XR2. Intermittently it will stop and usually start again running normally. A bit annoying! I've been told by a Ford trained mechanic that the distributor in the Fiesta was unreliable and there were many failures even in cars less than three years old. Does anyone know of this? From one website I discovered that the correct distributor is a Bosch type 0 237 521 019 but I can't find one of those. The Haines manual says Bosch or Lucas but gives no part number.. Nearest I found was type 0 237 601 001, Ford part number 84SF 12100 FA. Has anyone had a distributor problem with this engine, and what type did they use to replace it? It might be that the two types I've mentioned are effectively identical or there might be sufficient difference that while the one I can find will physically fit it won't work properly or even at all! Advice please so I can get going again! Many thanks, Mike -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
