Default In car heating and air con

Hi, I have a 59 plate XC60. The air from the blower doesn't seem to be getting through to the inside of the car. The fan seems to be working fine, and when you get driving the heat does come through. When I bought the car, it used to clear the windscreen mist in a few seconds. Now it can take 10 mins. In the summer the air conditioning doesn't work at all.
Any help would be great

Air conditioning is a vital part of your defrost.
1, it blows dehumidified air on the windshield.
2, heat from the condensor helps heat your coolant up faster.
Have your AC repaired and you'll see a big difference.

Hi,many thanks for the reply, thats OK but doesn't explain why the air from the blower isn't getting through.

Also, when you say get the air conditioning fixed, what exactly needs fixing?
