Richard,
You are right about the pump. Whenever I think British electrics my mind is overwhelmed by the memories of the misery Lucas has caused me over the years (I have now reformed from a period of buying "interesting" British cars!)
I suppose I am completely unreasonable as I have no problem with Blacks, Whites, Jews, Catholics or Moslems and can even understand All-Black supporters (I am still struggling with gays and Poms) but mention Lucas and a black cloud descends upon my day. I think I should be more even handed and say not just Lucas but the combined efforts of all the British electrical manufacturers had a very large part to play in bringing one of the world's great auto industries to its knees.
