Evap temps should generally be <7deg. C. regardless of climate control temperature settings, it's the job of the air blend actuator to, well, blend the air to the required temperature to reach the setpoint.
Pressure readings look low but without the low side reading (which would have to be taken with a gauge) they're not really a good diagnostic aid if the refrigerant charge is correct.
The aircon compressor clutch isn't PWM controlled so as long as it's drawing current (700 - 900mA is the correct range but can vary 'a bit' outside that range with no issues) the actual measurement is irrelevant to diagnostics the high side pressure should increase with the clutch locked, decrease with it unlocked, the high and low side pressures should be approximately equal within a few minutes of the clutch being disengaged, the time taken will be longer with a high ambient / evap differential due to stored heat in the refrigerant having to disperse in the pipework rather than the condenser.

Has your refrigerant charge been checked correctly? - i.e. recover, leak check & recharge, it has been known for the charge label to be read incorrectly and the charge for dual-zone systems to be assume to be the correct one. Overcharging can give effects similar to undercharging as there isn't sufficient expansion room in the system for the refrigerant to 'gas' and lose it's heat.

I've booked mine into Kwick Fit tomorrow for a test and recharge but I strongly suspect the compressor RCV valve is the problem. At this stage I'm not sure if it's worth spending around £1000 to have a new compressor fitted. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Aircon working 'ok' with a lower ambient is typical for low refrigerant charge, it isn't 'ok' of course, it's just that the lower ambient puts less of a load on the system as there's less heat to recover. Same goes for flinging it round corners, the liquid that is in the system gets thrown around and temporarily increases the system pressure against the orifice, so there is a high/low pressure differential, which is how the system works.

Interesting Phoenix, perhaps mine is just low on refrigerant then. It mirrors everything you have pointed out.

I also have this fault
B102E-11 ( 68 ) Air quality sensor - General electrical failure - circuit short to ground
This seems to refer to the recirculating feature but also may be something else? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

731g recovered, 880g recharge +10ml PAG oil. No leak with 20min vacuum leak test.
heater set to 22 deg

What was the ambient temperature when those screen shots were taken?

18deg 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Not fixed......
Aircon on max and 16 deg and it's heating up the car to over 30 deg with an 18 deg ambient temp. After about 5 mins the system started working and the evap temp started to drop and I could feel cold air but it then went back trying to cook me alive.
Going to ring round a few places tomorrow for quotes to get the compressor replaced. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Sounds like mine….. delayed air con….

I had mine recharged and the chap couldn’t understand why it then wouldn’t come on until he moved the car from the unit to the car park…. He couldn’t understand why it only seemed to come on outside. Knowing what we all know now, it was nothing to do with that… just the valve issue…..

I’ve yet to get an answer as to whether different makes of compressor still have the same issue, ie will fitting a different make fix the issue forever…… or will replacing like for like mean you will prob have the issue again at some point…

I'll not be keeping the car that long but don't fancy going through summer with no aircon. At the moment I get cooler air by turning off the aircon so not sure what's happening there? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

It's a long winded job to change the compressor. Make sure you take it to a specialist  Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I've seen the videos and It's just about possible to do it by removing the NS airbox but the workshop way is to remove the fan cowl. If it's the later I'll get them to replace the alternator as well. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
