    *edit*
    op is this your car interior?
    media?id=6807412

    If so then any "1 din" size head unit will fit that. there is a space for a "2DIN" size aswell which means flip out dvd player etc can be fitted etc Prices start from as little as 20euro upwards depending on what you want it to do..
    Anything specific or do you need an OEM? if the latter, try a few scrappies and failing that ring the dealers.

    I'd say that would be a fair swap.

    That's the interior all right, thanks for the advise.

    If you excuse my ignorance what is a 1 & 2 din size head unit.

    I'm just looking for a single unit CD player nothing specific

    Would any of the ones in argos fit.

    Thanks

    DIN refers to a standardized radio/stereo size for vehicles (large enough to accept a CD). The size is 2" high by 7" wide. 2 DIN or double DIN refers to units that are twice as high as the standard DIN, and so 1 DIN would be the standard DIN specification.

    A quick check on the argos site, yea they should just pop right in. The radio's usually come with all the tools you need. You may have to buy a wiring adapter depending on how the wires are in the back of the radio (typically 15-20euro). Any motor factors or halfords will have it. something like This here Good luck on the install!
