That doesn't sound good

I've been looking at proper plumbed in fire extinguisher system... think its a good investment.

Group buy anyone?

[Grantcos]

Cant be to carefull, I keep a fire extinguisher in mine and a 5L coolent bottle filled with water, which can be used for many tasks as its just clean water. They both sit neatly between the spare wheel and nearside tailight aputure.

This is what scared me into realising no car should be with out one ( scroll down for pics)

The guy spent 5 years building it and it was just on the road a few days and ^^^^^^^^ happened. It was absolutly immaculate, he rebuilt it very qyuicky again, top marks for effort, I would of shot myself

[Ray]

Oh no. I hope it wasnt to serious. I was on the same stretch of motorway at that time but didnt see anything.

Good idea that Jim - like in cars but without the button on the scuttle panel i presume
I bet as long as you spent some time thinking about routing and directing the pipework under the bonnet, you'd hardly even notice it. Just have to make sure you didnt end up inadvertanly pulling the lever by mistake with the pin out

[Grantcos]

^^^ sounds like something the missus would do, Oh what does this do, poooof - you stupid bitch

Think you can get electronic ones as well mate...... i know what you mean tho, you wouldn't want any accidents. Take some cleaning that would

mmm didnt know you could get electric ones Do you mean an electric system or just a button to press rather than a lever to pull

Think its just an electronic trigger

Mate of mine caught fire, I was driving behind and spotted the sparks under the car. He pulled over and by the time I got to the front of his car the engine bay had been covered with a fire extinguisher. Turns out the AA did a bodge on the starter motor wire to get him home and he never bothered fixing it, so it wore away and caught fire Extinguisher put it out even with the live still touching the chassis

Gonna buy a new one from Halfords tonight for me Esc Cos, Skoda already has one

[Grantcos]

fletch, dunno about all tescos but they were doing a decent size one suitable for a car for half price at my local one recently.

[cosmagedon]

I had a extinguisher in my frst luckily never needed to use it, so i gave it to my cousin when the car was sorn, then when his fiesta zetec s turbo threw a rod and the oil caught fire he ran to for the extinguisher and pulled the pin, then bosh.......nothing happend
