Any 6000 series will fit; there will only be issues with things like
steering wheel controls.

There's a couple of keypads on eBay at the moment for pocket money; will
they not suit?

I would expect the keypad to be coded to the radio.  vauxhall ones are and
have to be factory coded to suit the radio.  that radio is often for sale,
but also they often go faulty particularly the cd side.
 If the OP can find a secondhand one that is demonstrated as working then
all should be well, but I would not trust one sent through the post, there
are dire warnings on the side about dropping the radio, and the posties are
pretty clumsy !

I have spoken to her again and it turns out it isn't the keypad that is
missing. I had assumed it was the keypad when she was on about a
detatchable part.

She's talking about the missing part being about the size of two
matchsticks. That's about as much sense as I can get out of her.

Point noted about handling, i'll try to find something for sale locally.

Radio mount broken, and it was jammed in with two matchsticks?

No, it was in a car bought from a second hand car dealer. Apparently
nobody thought to check the radio until after the purchase and, as is his
right, the dealer is being a dick about it.

But thanks for your input.

Yeah that's what happens when you buy a car from "the man down the pub".

The 6000 series is cack, if you can afford it (I'm guessing it's a
Focus MK1?), stick a cheapo headunit in - the speakers are actually
pretty good. I got a JVC MP3/CD thing with the adaptor plate new, for
=A345 from Ebay and it took me about 2 mins - literally - to fit it.

Even better, try and get the dealer to sort it out for you, or at
least pay for it.

50 quid for a new CD/MP3/Bluetooth jobbie from Aldi at the moment.
