Hello,
Owner of a Vauxhall Viva HA 1965, I regurlaly have to replace the regulator box by a new one found on ebay for about 20 to 30 pounds. I notice it has to be replaced when the ignition light goes out at idle but lightens up again when the speed of the engine increases. Each time I replace the regulator box, this problem stops for a few months but eventually reappears and I have to change the regulator box again.
I showed one of my regulator boxes to an automobile electrician who examined it and told me that it was of poor construction quality, poorly finished, reason why it didn't last long.
Would anyone know where a quality regulator box can be found and bought ? Are original lucas stil available and where ? The ones I bought were copies.
Thank you for your attention.
Hubert.
