Fridge / Cool Box

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to buy the fridge/coolbox unit from? (Apart from a LR dealer) And are they easy to fit?

I've used the fridge just twice in 13 months. Mainly it is used for storing CD's. Imo, the least useful "extra" that the HSE has, principally because I've only found one water bottle that will fit inside (tiny Evian bottle). I'm sure others will be along to disagree,
Sorry to be so negative, just be certain that you really want one before going to the expense & aggro of fitting one Smile

The only thing we have used it for is to keep babies milk cool, I'd echo LT's thoughts!

Stops chocolate melting in the summer! You never know when Mrs Alex08 will need fed chocolate. And canned drinks fit fine. I like mine

I keep energy drinks in mine (red bull or V) as that seems the only way to make them drinkable. Also great for mini mars bars etc type stuff.

I like it... but agree about the water bottle thing.

I use mine for bait and it's fantastic, keeps Ragworm and Lugworm fighting fit.
Excellent idea IMO.

Thanks Nick, but I am really looking for the proper item. I travel long distances in my car very frequently and a cool box would be really handy. Dont know why my HSE doesnt have it. Apparently the original owner specced it out.

I bought a Coleman 6 day cooler on Sunday...I'd heard they were the mutt's and the camping shop chap was telling me that they were selling like hotcakes as they are much better than an electric car fridge ....all you need to do is add ice Thumbs Up

I have a camping gaz 12v one that plugs in the boot if the family are with me or in the passenger footwell. Also holds a bit more than a can of pop and a mars bar

Thanks for all those tips, but I am only interested in the one that fits in the armrest. I am fully aware of its limitations, but the convenience and discretion of location makes it the front runner for me. Any help??

The only place you're likely to get one from is a dealer...try Nick at Yeovil LR.. you will get a good discount. One might come up on ebay every now and then. Speak to \ PM Chris200100 he fitted one to his D3 Wink
