I knew people who owned Jaguars and its the first thing they replaced. My brother-in-law never did on his but it used to ride piggy back on a lot of tow trucks. Has Ford replaced the Lucas system on Jaguars now or is Lucas better now days? Don Lowell D.

I remember the heating system more in that you had two buttons HEAT & OFF period, they did not merge cold air with the warm for intermediate heat settings.
