In-dash CD Stacker not playing disks in my new XK(2006)

So, excited to get my new XK 150 home today.
Everything seems to be good.
Except I find that the CD player (hidden fascia 6-stacker type) gives "CD Error" on any disk.
I can hear that mechanism is working and it takes in the disks to all six slots, but won't play anything. :(
I called the dealer immediately and may have another 40-mile roundtrip to return it on Monday.
Constant music in the car is important to me.
I have a feeling that it would be a very big repair job..........
Anyone with any experience of such?

Mine died a while ago on the same year of car. Just spat all the discs out one day and refused to take anymore in.

I switched over to a unit that links to the phone by bluetooth and transmits an FM signal. I thoought the cd player was probably too expensive to be worth fixing.

If you do find someone who can look at it then let me know!

To add to Steve's comment I have virtually abandoned using the CD stacker. My car fortunately has the iPod connector which on early cars was an optional extra. To this connector I have added a bluetooth dongle and now have the entire library from my phone available for play as well as podcasts and streamed radio.

Somewhat better than a choice of six discs!!!! If you want details of the kit I use please let me know.
