Ketchup Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 I saw a ford coolbox going on ebay -sold for 150 quid , fits into seat brackets and plugs into cigarette lighter. How much does Ford sell this coolbox thing for? Quote
Guest sgould Posted August 10, 2003 Report Posted August 10, 2003 I think it's a lot more than that. I researched it last year. It was then shown on the Ford UK website with a price. Planned to buy one in Germany as it was the same number as UK Quote
craigm Posted August 14, 2003 Report Posted August 14, 2003 So if I want a Ford coolbox and as I'm off to France later this year, should I check the fist big Auchan we pass - or do they sell generic ones? TIA Craig Quote
Guest sgould Posted August 16, 2003 Report Posted August 16, 2003 Auchan only sell generic ones, sorry! Looks like Ford have equalised the price of the fridge/coolbox that clips in place. Quote
Guest Boggler Posted August 17, 2003 Report Posted August 17, 2003 Also when you are at Auchun, have a look in Norauto, there is one by the Auchun at Dunkirk, Calais or Boulogne. They have a good range of Coolboxes, there is a nice 32litre one which is about the size of the Ford one (albeit without the clips for the seat mounts). Though if you want an ordianry sized one Woolies do one for Quote

Guest benglx Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 hi guys sorry to drag up an old topic but i have just purchased a chiller/warmer box and after reading the manual noticed it takes 2/3 hours to reach temp.....does that mean leave it plugged into the spare rear sockets before we set out for up to 2 hours(will this drain the battery),or is there an adapter that means i could plug it into mains at home prior to the trip????(P.S i have just noticed halfords do a similar coolbox with a mains adaptor as an optional extra + Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Yes and Yes, it will take approx 3 hours to cool. The trick is to use those blocks you stick in the home freezer the night before, add them to the cool box to lower the temperature faster. Best method I've found to run the box on 12volts indoors is to get one of the battery booster/tyre inflater things. SOme have a 12volt socket on them, so you can even run the cool box when away from mains power. For peace of mind, you could even run it off this in the car overnight, to ensure that the car battery doesn't go flat. Quote
Guest Paul Collins Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 I bought one of these coolboxes last year, but was frightened by the price of the mains adaptors. So...... I cut the leads off of my 5A battery charger, fitted a 12v lighter plug on the leads and a 12v lighter socket on the charger. Used it on a weeks holiday in the tent, with the coolbox on mains non stop. I was prepared for a fused charger, but it worked faultlessly. I'm now looking at one of those 12v cooling fans with a water evaporator in front of the fans - air conditioning in the tent B) Paul Quote
