Indeed... 

Be careful not to release the magic smoke as that's what makes the electronics work.   Of course, you can get a Lucas Smoke recharging kit if you really need it.

Had me laughing out loud with that one.  Praise be, Lucas, Prince of Darkness (and the reason the British drink warm beer)

Un-fxxxxn-believable.
That's priceless.
In my early days of auto mechanics, I learned to loath MG and Triumph electrical systems.
(Even in the mid 80's they were still known an "Lucas Electric". God knows what they are calling themselves today)
Very old mechanics joke..... Why do Englishmen like warm beer ?  They have Lucas refrigerators.

On day one of a new university job, a friend (smart guy, with a PhD) was sent down to stores for "a long stand".  You know the way this gag is meant to play out.

Anyway, instead he goes to the pub for most of the day and comes back to the office late in the afternoon saying "they searched for hours, but couldn't find a long stand".  The guys who sent him on the fool's errand knew they had been played, but really couldn't complain.  :-)
