If you can't find it amongst your books, just pop on down to the nearest dealer with the rego papers and they should have it on hand in their service department database.

I've also read that on a Fiesta they will need to slide the radio out and get the serial number to get the code.

That is correct.
But be careful as when they removed my radio they ended up breaking the cable end connection for the temperature control and I could't turn the heater off.
When they did eventually admit that they had broken it they bodged it up by melting the plastic bits together as the cable is near on impossible to remove.
Sorry for the ramble but make sure you check the controls on your facia (temp and air flow) after they give it back to you.

I don't know if you've got it sorted yet but my radio code was/is printed on a sticker that's on the inside of the glovebox. I don't know if this is the same for everyone?

Only sticker in my glovebox is the tyre placard, and its in such a rediculous spot too. You just about have to jam your head in there to be able to read it.
