The aircon on the car doesn't work insofar as I don't get any cold air through it. The fans blow but it isn't cold, cold if you see what I mean.The windows tend to get misty too and hard to clear. I have had the gas checked and replaced so it isn't that, is there anything else that commonly goes wrong with the system?

Did it work immediately after the gas was replaced?
Nope, it did a week or so after but then stopped working again.

It has a leak somewhere. No point re-gassing it, you'll need to find and fix the leak first. An a/c specialist can do this with fluorescent dye.
Weirdly had a friend recharge it a few weeks ago and it has been A1 since, maybe the leak mysteriously fixed itself. Unlike last time the read out was the system was empty before he refilled it.
