Out of the blue when I turn the ignition on there is a loud buzzing coming from the pasenger foot well and you can feel a vibration on the near side wing,its to do with the heater because when I remove the heater fuse the noise stops every thing else works and the cars drives fine any ideas what the reason may be regards Steve.

The heater control moves a motor, which does hot / cold, or up / down. Thge motor usually stops on its limit switch, so no amount of holding the heater control down will make iit keep going. Suggest the motor / limit switch is knackered. EAsy ish acess in front of the glove box.

Agree with Nic, Try moving one of the heater control buttons up/down hot/bliming hot etc until you hear the buzzer go off. you'll know which one it is then.
Motors,There behind the Glove box and there are some switchs that are hit to stop the motor at either limit these can fail and teh motor just keeps on turning.
