They save a bundle by not having to lube the wires, but after a decade or
so they start to squeal and you're stuck with having to replace all the
wires. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The wires are Lucas branded: "Made in the UK" and then stamped with the
phrase "Bob's Your Uncle".

Should I be concerned?


Made in the U.K. ?
Then you probably have metric wiring.

Not a big problem, but when the time comes to add circuits you will need a
metric converter kit.
Just ask at any electrical supply, they will also be able to sell you the
metric wire nuts you will need too.
Although they may need a few days to special order them

Houses of this era were often built with munimulanim wiring.
