Any 1.8TD Ford should have a Lucas with a metal cap, Escort, Mondeo mk1 or mk2, Fiesta, late Sierra, P100, think that's it...

The 1.8 NAs have it too... So nigh on any Escort van - pretty much most eighties and ninties Ford diesel will have one!
If there's not at least one in your local scrappers, there's something wrong!
