Lucas if fine as long as you give it the 
attention to which it was designed, ten hours of 
owner maintenance a week.  Give it that, and it works flawlessly.

Bosch was just so much junk until they moved 
production in the 1970's to Mexico City.  Since 
then, it has been reasonably solid, though the 
electrics on my '84 Audi 4000S are giveing me fits at the moment.

I'd rather have Lucas.
