I think all cars should have them you never know.

Totally agree, should be compulsory.

Ideal place is in the passenger compartment withing easy each.

Hmmm I might remove the Rover one from the 623 GSI and fit it into the 75 now I think on it.

If it's an orginal Rover fire extinguisher it's probably well past its shelf life. I'd kept that for shows (if originality is important to you) and get a brand new one. The 2kg dry powder 'Easi' one I think it's called from Gloria is very good and fitted as OEM by Land Rover. Safelincs sell them online

Thats a nice posh clean boot you have there Gaz.

You are most certainly correct in saying 'you never know'

I had our first bought Ford Galaxy go up in flames one day whilst out driving, thankfully I was on my own, and on the way to the blooming dentist, some years ago now.

It had a overheating problem 2 weeks before, it was fixed at my local garage. We reckon the fan relays were to blame, had too much stress from the overheating, gave-up caught fire and melted

the flames must have been 15/20ft high.
