The heater fan is in engine bay on them isnt it? well i know it is on ERST and is piss easy to remove. Check fuse first if not whip the blower out and pass a current through it to see if its knackered!

Hey Lou - Billy here lol
I know what it was............ You never had "The Glove" on
I recon switch, as i'm sure there'd be a few other things not working as well..... IIRC its only the overheating fan that has its own fuse on the heating system. I'm sure the heater blower shares a fuse with some other bits................
But then i could be wrong

I hate to sound stupid here but if your blower isnt working how do you know you have heat?
On my escort gti i have absolutly no air at all unless i switch the blower on.

Because when your driving along you tend to get a certain amount of heat through and even tho the blower wasnt working when i put my hand infront of the vent last night it was hot

Update
I checked a few things out last night and i discovered that my reverse light doesnt work either which is on the same fuse as my heater fan, the fuse looked fine but changed it over anyway and still nothing
Any more ideas or any suggestions of someone local to me that can help me out please

Could be an earthing fault of some description.
Also, take the fuse out, and check inside the actual fuse holder to see if's corroded at all.
Could also check with a multimeter that you're getting power both sides of the fuse.....
