Hi Nash,
Mine is only held in with an adjustable, so quite a good fit, bungee. It is attached to the rear boot fixing loop, over the rear handle (if you know the MT35, it's well shaped for this) across the side and down over the handle at the front and fixed to the front loop.
The weight of the fridge, it's general stability and small size means it has never moved at all. An adjustable bungee is best as you need to have quite a bit of tension.
I've taken a couple of pix with my phone, which I'll add to this reply in a mo. Though I hope I make sense?
Cheers,
PaulD3 HSE V8...

It written for a D2, but I think the same solution can be applied to a D3. I made something similar for my Defender and I have used it during some quite severe off-roading and felt secure in the knowledge that the fridge is not going to move!
Sorry but a bunge cord would not make me feel safe, but I guess it depends on how rough the going is! Discovery 3 XS Auto, Stornaway, Active rear diff.

Agree with you there - if you're going to extremes then maybe the slide lock is a better solution. However, I ruled this out as it bolts to the floor - fine for a 5 seater but not for a 7. In my defence, the bungee is not an off-the-shelf five for a tenna Halford's jobby, and despite severe provocation it has never moved or slid latterally or forwards and back.
If I was extreme off-roading, i.e. risk of rolling the car then I probably wouldnt have the fridge with me - then again, I probably wouldnt be in my D3. I'd be in a Defender tooD3 HSE V8...

Just bought an Engel 40 litre fridge with locking plate, cover & hinge lock from www.mps4x4store.co.uk great prices & service, a couple of other Disco3 members have used them as well...
took 20 mins from first startup to get to -10 degrees (external was 21 degrees) AND it fits in place of the jump seat in the middle row 8)
