My registrar's refresh, minimum and expire values are unusual values
according to a DNS report from Men & Mice.

alasdaircampbell.com
origin = ns.heartinternet.co.uk
mail addr = hostmaster.mainnameserver.com
serial = 2007112060
refresh = 604800
retry = 86400
expire = 1209600
minimum = 3600

Also the backup name server ns2,heartinternet.co.uk is not responding.

I think this means that changes I make to my zone files on these
nameservers are taking too long to take effect.

I *have* mis-configured some settings for CNAMEs and MX records as their
instructions were quite poor. and didn't differentiate when a trailing
(,) would be necessary and when not.
