   i believe there is a resistor which controls the speed of the fan, correct me if im wrong people.
   
   Its just a case of replacing the resistor to get the other 2 speeds back.

   Yep, as above resistor has packed in.. Iirc the part is called the resistor pack or resistor motor. Next time to stop it going try to avoid using the heaters on full whack, this is because it put lots of strain on the resistor and causes it to pop so it will only work on all or nothing, when on the lower settings is there a mild breath of air coming through?
