UPDATE:-
Well I kept on 'poking' and got the CD out with a mixture of swearing, cursing, a screwdriver and a fair amount of force and double-jointed-ness.
Damn player now has the safety teeth closed, spins the motor constantly and refuses to accept another CD.
My dealer tells me also that all audio equipment is only covered for 1 year....
2 questions now.
Can it be repaired. If so how much do people think?
Also, what other head units have people fitted into the facelifted silver interior

Any recommendations
Cheers peeps.
