a/c blowing fuses, car refuses to start when warm
related in some fashion?
The other day, I had the parts store swap out a battery (six months old) tat had a bad cell. The car wasn't starting when warm- turn the key to the ON position, everything worked, turn to start, nothing, back to on, everything worked. It push started just fine.
The battery they gave me died the next day. Although the car started, the starter sounded like it was having a difficult time turning.
Anyway, the A/C has been blowing fuses once a month for the passed few months. My mechanic has no idea why. Could these problems be related?
Has anyone had problems like this before?
How difficult is it to change the alternator if that's what it comes to?

It's difficult to give definite guidance without details of which model X Type you have and which fuses are blowing. However, a number of odd fuse problems have been found to be caused by a faulty Security Sounder that is powered through the same fuse as parts of the A/C system in some X Types.
The sounder is hidden away behind the lefthand side wheelarch liner and has a 3 way black connector with two blue and one black wire.
It might be worth your checking if disconnecting it helps.
