Who needs a Cubby Box Fridge!
So after 3 months, I picked up my D4 again on Saturday. 1 mod I wanted to do was the fridge. The bill for the engine has completely stripped me of any spare cash I had for mods.
Had a 100 mile trip back from Birmingham, and only had 1 cold can of coke left in my little cooler pack, after the 5 1/2 hour journey on public transport.
Just before the M5, I topped up with Diesel, and thought I would get another couple of cans in the petrol station. Their fridge was down, so only warm cans. Great. Couldn't be bothered to drive around looking, so got 2 anyway.
Opened the cold one, and chucked the other 2 in the Cubby box. Lovely weather, and Aircon set to Low.
Stopped off in Gloucester Services for a quick break. Only fake coke in there (Vanilla, Cherry, Zero, and god forbid Pepsi).
Grabbed 1 from the cubby box, to be pleasantly surprised.
Cold!!!
Not fridge cold, but a lot colder than when it went in and given another hour, who knows! I guess the rear vent ducting runs along side/underneath that bit. Obviously having the aircon on will cool the car down, but honestly didnt expect it to affect the cans so much in there.MY07 Freelander2 SE Santorini Black - Gone

The cubby cooler is one of the best mods for a D3/4. I’d leave cans (Zero version) in there and leave it switched on so cans always cold when I needed the them. And they don’t freeze at -10c!! And the snap from opening chocie bar, suuuuuuuuuperb.
