Default Air conditioning pressure switch

Can anyone tell me where the air conditioning pressure switch is on the car is? I think this is what is causing the problems i am having. Also where can i get on from in the UK? JDHT dont seem to do them anymore.

Thanks

Yours is the same as mine, RHD, so it is on the aluminium tube just inboard of the brake booster, 4 wires out the top, commonly called a "trianary switch".

Apparently it reeked havoc with the thermo fan operation in the early days, which Jag worked around with a "loop", to have the fans ON whenever the ign was on, or the a/c was on. I have redone the thermo bit to mine, and will one day figure out the other work around for the a/c circuit, and put it right. A new trianary switch will be required.
