I had my aircon regassed by Kwik Fit only 2 weeks ago but on Low it just doesn't feel icy cold. I'm wondering is this normal or something faulty? Most of my journeys are 5-10 minutes but even after this length of time its not icy.

i usually turn em to hot then Cold then add AC to see if there is a significant difference to each step
When Kwik Fit regassed the system do you know if they did a pressure test?
If not it could be just loosing the gas again, if there's a leak.

mines crap but i never use it, rather spend regassing money on other things 
it does work but i just don't think it's as cold as it should be.

Funny enough, Kwik Fit did mine end of last Summer & only now have I tried it out properly since & it's seems fine.....and cold
Usually a 10 - 12 deg difference in outside and cabin temps is acceptable. This temp difference is a lot better. The air con condensor gets a bit of a hammering as it's at the front of the engine (stone chips gallor) Most companies inject a dye when re-gassing. So you return a week later, they check the system with a uv light and hopefully see the hole or damage.
right hand side of the windscreen scuttle panel, there's a screw on cover that covers the pollen filter.
The aircon can't breath too well if that is mucky

when you put the cover back on, make sure the bugger's fitted correctly. They seem to have a habit of going out of shape, then when the rain moves in, it's soggy carpet time !
make sure you have it on 'recirculation'. If you dont all it will do is bring in hot air in from outside and will not work as efficient.
