I took the Griff to the Autosport show on Friday and for some reason the heater decided to pack up. The blower worked but there was no heat coming out. As I got about six miles from the NEC it just started to work. It wasn't as hot as usual though just warm. I used the car on Saturday and the same thing happened. Has anyone else ever had this trouble??

Sounds like air lock or low water. Any time the blower runs cold you need to start worrying as it is one of the symptoms of total cooling system failure (total loss of water, fan belt fallen off etc). But usually it is just a sign of slightly low water level or an air lock.
