Indeed, I'll take some photos later and post them up.

Ignore the gap, it'll be filled in when I get a facia.

Holy thread resurrection Batman! 😛

I'm looking to do similar to my recently acquired 1999 S-Type Chris, can you give me any hints/tips please that would make life easier plase?

Seems there are umpteen different head units fitted as standard to the early models, mine has green VFD rather than the later LCD display if that gives any clues? Looks like you had the same as your heater controls are the same (visually) as mine.

Can you upgrade an Xj 2000 model head unit

As the saying goes, anything is possible! I'm still working on my S-Type (similar to the pic above) and have decided to make a replacement fascia panel as none exist for the early pre-facelift cars.

I've heard (but not sure) the XJ uses the same size/shape fascia as the early X-Type but whether that's correct or not is another matter. try searching for Autoleads and their online catalogue to see what's available for yours. 😉 😄
