Hey guys!
So… being in rural Northeast Pennsylvania, with no Jag mechanics anywhere nearby, I had to give these guys the benefit of the doubt if they could find the problem of stalling and not restarting because my car literally stalled right in front of their shop, and I knew it would take a lot of trial and error and thus labor time to diagnose. They dropped the alternator from underneath and the voltage regulator was attached to the side of it, which they replaced because they told me it was spiking up to 18 and had fried some things… so they fixed several shorts in the wiring, cleaned out the alternator, replaced all four belts which I supplied, new coil, new ignition switch, fixed a short in the water sensor wiring, and put a new seal in cap of master cylinder that was leaking. They are a small shop with only two mechanics but I was in a bind and didn’t have many options, so I crossed my fingers and went with it. I will say that they did solve that issue and she is running strong now. However, they did not secure the ignition switch to the lock cylinder properly and it came loose, but with your help I got her home. I am putting in 12 hour shifts this weekend but when I get time I plan on doing what Paul recommended and (carefully) put another set screw on the bottom. That makes sense and it should be good to go after that, and again I believe that they did they’re best, and if it was something that I couldn’t fix then yes I would go and have them take care of it. So there it is.
Thanks Gentlemen!
