I followed the instructions religiously, and have tried a number of times, grr.....

The drive is reading the disc, i can hear it spinning up etc... but when i turn the ignition to the first turn, the screen instantly displays the Blue screen date...
Sounds like the drive is toast then mate.

I guess my only option is to either get this unit replaced, or send it off for repair somewhere..
I'd say.

Although.....

I heard something about unplugging the unit for ten minutes and then reconnecting and trying to flash the drive again, is this worth me trying? or should i just face that i have broken this unit?..... I have disconnected the battery for five minutes, which didn't work, just reset all the clocks and tripometer.
No, I don't think this will work, the rom is corrupted and as such no amount for unplugging will fix it, the rom requires a reload.
