Heater blower only works on speed 4.Changed the switch no difference.Been told it could be the heater blower resistor but carnt see it any were near the front windscreen wiper motor as i was told it was there.So it would be nice to no were it is and is it difficult to change as i am doing it for a neighbour.Thanks

open bonnet.remove plastic scuttle pannel near windsreen.looking from front of car,just under left wiper wheel box,,think theres 4 or 5 wire plug and 2 spade ternmials,held in by torx screw on later models,,also known as rheostat,£25 approx from vauxhall,2 different ones 4 + 3 speed versions,,

If your astra is after 1999, the resistor is behind the side passenger footwell side panel. You need to remove the Glove Box and side panel to get at it. The part then pushes out, and its a simple exchange of part. You can clean the nearby pollen filter at the same time.
