Good quality and Lucas is an oxymoron ;-)

Back in the 80s and 90s, Lucas Injectors were essentially Bosch Units in
Lucas packaging or Lucas manufactured (quality?) under Bosch license.  Don't
know what the current or past 10 years have been, so I can't say further.  I
avoided anything electrical from Lucas after a bad experience in the 70s.

They don't call Lucas the "Prince Of Darkness" for nothing.....

There are a few items in Lucas/Girling I've never had problems with, such as
their Hydraulic Repair Kits, tho....
