230V AC to 12V DC Adaptor

I purchased a cool box and the leaflet inside states that if you go to www.cooler-accessories.co.uk you can get an adaptor that enables a 12V only cooler to be powered from a household electricity supply. The site tells you to press on a link that will take you to another site and it will sell them but it doesn't. Does anyone know where I can purchase one?

    Maplin. usually have this kind of thing.

    Just check the amps required. Watt = amps * volts.
    60 watts = 5 amps * 12 volts.

    Is that the one I really need, it costs £24.99? If I purchase it will it be the one that works with my cool box? The last time I had anything to do with electric plugs it blew up, so want to make sure I get the correct thing. :o

    The leaflet that came with it states 60W 5.8Amp Output. Is this still the one I need? SORRY for all the questions but I don't want it to blow up!! :o

    I telephoned the number on the leaflet and the person who answered said they sell them on ebay and gave me the item number. I checked on ebay and placed my bid. I won the item on Saturday and have it paid for, now I am waiting on it to be delivered. :j

    THANKS for all the help skr00ge!! :T :A
