Sounds like you are just getting the ram air effect blowing through the heater as you travel & the electric blower isn't working.

Look at your owners manual & check the fuse for the heater blower.

If ok, go to a local car electrician who will be able to check if the problem is the control pannel or heater blower.

The blower is working on all settings and only cuts out when I stop moving.

As youv'e seen from this post :-

http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=62707

there is an electronic speed controller in the fan unit which can go short circuit & keep the fan on full speed.

When these fail they get very hot & have probably melted one of the soldered conexions.

The vibration while you are travelling along may just keep the conexion made, then when you stop it looses its conexion. You will either need someone to replace the electronic unit as per the post above or get a new fan unit.
