Turn off the AC?

Is this one of those ac's with a built-in bilge like my 1991
Sovereign?

I had a 2003 S-Type R with the same problem.  Dealer never could
resolve it.  They told me it was because of the humidity in the air.
Duh!!  I finally resolved it by trading it in on a 2005 XJR.  Best
move possible.

It probably means that you didn't use it over the winter and mould grew.  It
does.  Any decent aircon specialist (and I exclude jaguar dealers) will be
able to spray a biocide into the aircon intake while it's running (if you do
it yourself - doors & windows open and nobody in the car - it's horrid
stuff.  Takes a few days for the smell of that to go, then problem gone.
Use your aircon in the winter!
