Air Con Problem

Hi all!

I have a 56 plate 1.6LX ( 100bhp) and when the aircon is switched to the setting where it comes out of the vents in the dash, it only comes out of the vents located on the passenger side of the car. I've not long had it regassed and have the pollen filter changed on every service. The driver side has airflow coming out, just nowhere near as cold as the passenger side.

Any ideas on what this could be would be very much appreciated!

Thanks

Aidan
