Fitting is relatively straightforward, although I did spend ages trying to get the centre console trim to line up properly again.

First step is to remove the cup holder moulding from the centre console and the trim panel from the front of the cubby box area. Both just pull up with a little bit of force. There are two metal friction clips on the trim panel that came off and had to be fished out of the void beneath:

Next, remove two screws that secure the water shedder from beneath the cup holders. It's worth noting that the emergency release wire for the EPB is located under this panel. Remove a further two screws from the top corners of the moulding behind where the trim panel has been removed from. These are quite tricky to get to and the sides of the centre console trim may need to be eased outwards to provide access.

Remove the torx bolts from the lid hinges and pull off the silver hinge trims. I spent quite a while looking for hidden fixings here as these trims didn't want to let go. They need to be sort of twisted and pulled up to release them.

At this point, the existing cubby box interior can be lifted out. Ours has the USB supply to the lid, so there was also a bit of faffing with the cable grommet before it would come free.

Fitting the cubby box fridge is, as the saying goes, the reverse of this procedure, although it's also necessary to make the electrical connection. The feed from the car is hidden below the water shedder with the connector wrapped in a little foam sleeve. The matching plug on the fridge is tightly secured with cable ties, which need to be released to allow it to reach the car supply.

There's a small switch on the front edge with an integral LED to turn the fridge on, which only works when the ignition is also on.

Brilliant and thank you! Just the instructions that I've been looking for

Please could somebody help me here?

I'm trying to remove an existing fridge to move to another Disco. I've got as far as photo 2 (and I've also removed the two screws and the drip tray and the hinged armrest), without any bother. However, try as I might, I can't now lift the fridge more than around 10mm without the cooling fan and all of the rest of the cooling gubbins getting stuck on the plastic structure (that's visible in the photo) and is in front of and above the cooling fan.

Please would someone let me know what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

John.

Remove drip tray screws and pull up the trim either side (two hands, fridge end where the tray was) the whole centre section will lift out.

Hope this helps !
