In a word, no.

What lies behind, or connected to, those control panels are so different it would be a complete dashboard-out and re-wire of the entire cars' electrical system for starters :shock:

Definitely easier (and probably cheaper) to replace the whole car!

I'd sell you my old 1999 D9 (facelift) 406 saloon, which does have the modernized centre console and digital climate control - but it needs a bit of work to pass an MOT and you're probably nowhere near Aberdeen anyway.

ithink it be do able,
but youd need a d9 for the wiring loom etc,

itd be a Mission and wouid require a lot of patience,

it be easier just to go and buy a D9 :supafrisk:
