AC Compressor install...dealer or local shop?
So I,m an hour at best from my local Jag dealer and my 03 X Type needs a new compressor. Is that something I can ave a local mechanic do or should I make the trek to the shop. The local guy is MUCH less, but will I need to take it to the dealer to reprogram anything in the computer?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

ME: I would take it to my local Jaguar shop to fix it. The dealer would have a field day banging someone out for that work.

No reprogramming needed, it's a pretty straight forward job..... drop the corner of the sub-frame am BAM swap the parts...... well not that easy but not impossible for a capable mechanic. As long as they are equipped to charged th system back up i would go to a local shop will be MUCH cheaper.....
