True, My GLS has a second glove box where the air bag is.  Not massive but am allready missing the space on my Elite.

stop lugging so much shite around then

I could answer that, but thought it safer not to.

You want summat like this Lizzie.....

Ive got a similar one......only prob is where to put it so it doesnt fall about on the move.....

I keep meaning to screw a piece of perpex down to the carpet just in front of the driver seat up against the prop well, then using double sided sticky pads stick it down to the perspex.......tho there may be better fixing points on the one in the link......the one i have just has 4 little rubber pads to sit on.......doesnt stop it moving about tho.

Not quite what I had in mind, but still a good idea; thanks Taxi Driver!

Fitted to A/C equipped preminifacelift cars, dropped minifacelift onwards.

Thanks TB , but can you fit such a glove box from a scrapper on a facelift? :-/ :-/

guess so.  Not sure where you would pick up the chilled air from though

That I can see TB as being the real problem! :-?

The small gloveboxes on later omega's wouldnt be because of he passenger airbag fitted would it?  :-/

I can only think that if your gonna fit a prefacelift glovebox.....you might have to loose the airbag  :-/

all omegas, except base prefacelifts, have passenger bag....

Ah ok   Didnt think a 12yo omega would have a passenger airbag.

Mind you still not sure a prefacelift glovebox would fit, if its much bigger than a facelift one.....its a bit tight behind the glovebox.....i know ive taken mine out......ie ventilation piping.....wiring loom tray and of course the blower fan.

I don't think so Taxi Driver, as my 1996 Elite did have an air bag arrangement exactly like that on my current facelift CDX :-/ :-/

i suppose the only way to tell is to get a glovebox with the relevant pipes etc; attached and see if it can be fitted. :-/

With the lovely hot weather we are now having I am missing my lovely chilled glove compartment that kept drinks cool in my Senator.  8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

It has also made me remember that I had the same on my 1996 Elite (?).  ........and I know the dimensions of the miggy box is next to useless for what I need to put in there!

Anyway, did the miggy have such a thing (or am I getting confussed again!)?

If it did or didn't, is there a way to rig up the a/c / cc system to provide such a facility?  

I do miss the cold cans of Coke (nothing stronger)! 8-) 8-) 8-)

So you dont have a secret choclate stash then.

Is it? Not sure about that.........my prefacelift Elite still had a small box....I think!   Any thought anyone? :-/ :-/

Good idea!  I could go to my local friendly Vx specialist scrapper
and get a chilled box, with the pipes......then see if my facelift does have a spare a/c 'T' pipe connection to hook up said box.

I really want to do this project as I want that chilled facility!  It is first on the list of outstanding works for August / September;
                fit cool box if poss.
                fit self dipping int. mirror
                fit rear blind
                full major service inc. breathers etc.
                replace cam belt
                ..........and anything else money/ time allows me to do.

Oh yes.....but it is too valuable to take out with me!!

Cant see why gloveboxes would be different.  Bet if you look on facelift one, bet there is a knockout for a/c

[LFF64]

I d my glove box out last week there is a knock out in the back of the glove box about 20mm dia as TB said my pre mini facelift CD had the option it had a little slide to open and close to allow the chilled air in to it .
 But as already mentioned you wont be able to get a can to fit in there anyway
