You'd probably be able to pick up a reconditioned one on Ebay which would be the same as the original one that was fitted on your fiesta?

you can buy in either Argos or Halfords and they can fit the radio for you.
I've never used them though.

What year is the Fiesta - does it have a standard single DIN unit, or is it an integrated one? Do you have a remote control for it on the steering wheel? The Argos option could be a good one - even if you go over your budget, the free installation could make up for not having to go to a mechanic.
