    The Precise Temperature of my Beer

    Now

    I'm sure some of you are going to jump on me from a great height and say "thats got nothing to do with technical LandRover stuff"

    However I beg to differ!!!!!!

    Recently one of my mates brought a new fridge and it had a digital temperature readout on the outside.

    Now I'm not the sharpest knife in the blok but I thought to myself what I a shame I couldn't do something like that to my 20 year old Engel.

    So I did.




    The readout actually shows 27.5 ambient out side and the inside is 3.3.

    $30 from Dikus Smithus.

    Great mod job, and much cheaper than a new fridge just to get that feature!

    I did the same .... as has been said it is a good early warning that something is wrong with the regulator and/or power to the fridge.

    The only prob is you need to remember to look at it. Some of these have alarms if it goes above a set temp .... haven't been able to find one in tricky dicky's tho

    Good idea. I usually take one of those touristy type souvenir thermometers and put it in the fridge\freezer when I want to know what's going down inside. Your unit looks better.

    Nice post.
