2007 JAG XKR AIR CON
Discussion
Where are you located OP?
I had an XFR which had a similar issue.
Car was re-gassed, but failed to be ice cold.
Turns out that there is an internal switch in the aircon system that can become stuck and this prevents the really cold air from blowing.
Surrey Jaguar Centre were able to sort this.
Alternatively, I can recommend a great AC guy over by the Bo-Peep pub in Well Hill.

You dont mention any history of the car but renewing the condenser is pretty much a given on any X150 of this age . Sat low down at the front of the car they are particularly vulnerable to road salt during winter months . The default response to air con issues is nearly always regassing and in my experience seldom cures the issue . Dont know where you are located but Bedford Battery have a Mobile Technician who comes to your Driveway or Office etc and provides a first class service , I have his number if you require it ?

You don't know whether that switch is a general thing such that it might be the case on X300s as well?I had an XFR which had a similar issue.

My XJ6's AC was never quite as cold after I had to have it regassed, before that you could often get it to form condensation on the outside the of the windscreen. I'd originally just assumed that they'd had to change to a new refrigerant as there had been discussions about some of them being associated with ozone loss but apparently that wasn't the case.
