Not really. Anyone who's ever owned anything built by British Leyland knows that he spent the remainder buying Bosch electrical parts to keep the car running
Replacing the Lucas parts with Bosch parts...

There's an old joke about "why the British drink warm beer". The refrigerators are made by Lucas.

If you can believe what is on wikipedia. Below is some relevant info on Lucas:

Cross-licensing agreements:
In the 1920s Lucas signed a number of cross-licensing agreements with Bosch, Delco, and most of the other automotive electrical equipment manufacturers in Europe and North America. In addition, these agreements included a non-competitive clause agreeing that Lucas would not sell any electrical equipment in their countries and they would not sell electrical equipment in Great Britain. By the mid-1930s Lucas had a virtual monopoly of automotive electrical equipment in Great Britain.


Reception and reputation:
With a monopoly in place, Lucas proceeded to supply electrical equipment that was commonly cited as the best reason not to buy a British car. The poor reliability of Lucas auto-electrics earned it the nickname "Prince of Darkness". Incidentally, heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne, who adopted the nickname as part of his stage image and was also from Birmingham, was a former Lucas Industries employee as was his mother.
