After removing the ashtray, there are securing nuts up under the edge
that face downward. There's some instructions at jag-lovers.org in
the X300 forum and also at
http://www.skjagtech.co.uk/support-pages/jaguar-support.html
Easy does it,
Cheers

Most helpful of you good sir, I will now replace the sledgehammer with a more
suitable tool!
Thanks!

Fortunately for me, those securing nuts were gone from mine --
otherwise I might have broken something. When I saw the bare bolts
after getting it out, I looked upward and said "Whew.. thanks"

I'm not a religious person by any means, but if a glance heavenward helps,
I'm game!
I am going to try this at the weekend and will let you know how I get on.

Arn't there two small spring clips on the side of the clock which allow it
to snap in . If it is like earlier models just pry the edges and it should
pop out...mjh

Hi Mike
I did consider this but on mine it appears that the clock casing is too snug
a fit to get anything down the side of it without causing noticeable damage
to the surrounding panel. So didn't go any further. Anyway, thanks for that I
will check when I do get it out and let you know too. This is so much fun
having these message boards, and a mine of information.
