    How about removing whatever door panels or covers there are over the speakers, remove speakers (and test them to see if they truly are broken) then try to source new matching speakers using any part numbers on them or by asking electronics stores like Maplin or RS components.

    can you get to the speakers at all? i.e. remove the grills to access the allen screws holding them in?

    You're going to have to remove them anyway, might aswell get cracking on it this weekend and get them removed. Then do as advised.

    measure the diameter of the cone, then look up somewhere like CarAudioDirect or CarAudioSecurity. both are leading car audio suppliers, and their prices ALWAYS beat Halfords.

    I would anticipate your front speakers are either 8cm (3.5") or 10cm (4") coaxial speakers, in which case one of the following would be good value.

    8cm - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-sxe-0825s.html

    10cm - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-sxe-1025s.html
