guys!!
just done a full coolant flush and re-fill
i have fixed the heat problem and you wont believe how!
doing the coolant change made ZERO difference
still doesn't explain IF my head gasket has gone or is going!
i wish i knew IF Vauxhall were lying or not
anyway, here is what i did to get heat all the time, click here to see that i removed just ONE of the Vacuum Pipes, here you can see it taken off
look through these pictures until you get to the pictures i took of the vacuum pipe taken off,
this particular pipe is the ONLY one that makes a difference when its off!
there are also some pics of my lovely (possibly dead car) in its not bad condition

its not my imagination, i have tested it for the 60 minutes, taken it on and off about 25 times!!
when i re-connect the pipe on every occasion and put the heat on, i dont get any at all, when i take the pipe off i get heat everytime!
its just a Vacuum pipe! isnt it?
what does it have to do with the heating system?
