Hello:

I am an owner of a 2003 S type. I enjoy the car but have had a lot of difficulty finding a qualified mechanic in the area (I live in Riverside Ca.). Of the three times I've had to rely upon a garage to do something other than an oil change I've not been able to say that the mechanic was either qualified or ethical. I don't mind paying but when someone charges me 500 bucks for a tune up when the procedure neither fixed the problem or was necessary you don't go back to that garage, yes.

Anyway, I'm not complaining (well maybe a little) as much as providing a reason for joining the forum. This seems like a friendly place to get qualified advice before I go to get something fixed!

Currently I'm trying to figure out why my AC will work for about 6-7 months and then need recharging.

I recently posted a thread on how to recharge the Jag so I'm sure I'll get some advice. However, I still need to find out a likely reason or procedure to diagnose what's goin on.

I am a psychologist and enjoy machining, gardening, and science. I'm about to retire so I'm spending more time in the Jag. Unfortunately it's supposed to be 110 today so I won't be going anywhere until the AC gets fixed.

Thanks for the opportunity to share.
