It sounds like the resistor pack for the fan has gone, these are the normal signs of failure for that component. No idea where it is located on an Astra but either check in a workshop style manual or wait until someone comes along here who knows whats what with an Astra.

As already mentioned - a failed resistor pack. Generally located near the blower motor. Can't remember though if the Mk3 Astra motor is accessed from under the bonnet or you have to remove the glovebox.

I agree with Dave and Simon.

The fan still works on 4 because this setting "bypasses" the resistor
