How do I remove/replace radio in '97 XK8..?

The stereo radio system in my 1997 Jag XK8 Convertible has gone south..!
The output from the amplifier stage is down to one speaker and is very distorted. Can anyone guide me to some detailed instructions on how to remove and replace the system so I can send it out for repairs..??

Check for used units on ebay...it might cost less than a repair.

Welcome to the forum Geoff41,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum. This is the place to post tech questions about your model.
