Hello All,
Has anybody fitted a clock from an XJ8 into the X300?
How did the conversion go? was it a difficult thing to do?
John.

 

I guess it depends on what exactly you mean. Wiring up an X308 clock to work in an X 300 wouldnt be very difficult, but finding a way to integrate it into the dashboard would be, as the architecture of the vents, gauges and controls is completely different. A complete transplant of the entire dashboard might be feasible, but the loom would need to be swapped or heavily modified, and I am not sure about compatibility with the myriad control modules. The rev counter springs to mind as a potential problem area. A biblical amount of work for sure, to end up with a dash which is, IMHO, less attractive than the X300. Definitely easier to get the X300 clock display fixed!

 

Hi,
I did not make the question clear.
I refer to the clock that sits in the vent above the radio, not the instrument cluster.
I would not even consider changing to the xj8 set up.

There’s nowhere to fit it....

 

Would it not be a straight swop in the center vent?

Sadly the vents are not the same.

 

Thank you my friend.
That puts that idea to bed.
Time to buy a clock from the auction site.
John
