Only normal stuff make sure its bolted down securly-
I once saw a really nice defender at essex arena AWDC event years ago fail a steep hill climb just as he stopped th windows turned white 2 blokes bailed out choking luckily the driver was very experienced and he left it in gear hand brake on before he bailed the dry powder extinguisher came loose hit the rear door and sheered the saftey pin white powder everywhere destroyed the interior of the vehicle.
make sure you shake it rigorously every month and before you use it
At a comp safari a mota caught fire the guy grabbed his 2kg dry powder aimed it and it just spat out its gas and no powder it all, all the powder compressed to the bottom while he was racing and become useless when he really needed it Jai

best stuff fur that is Halon - yu get out pretty quick then.....
or not at all

It would be good form, and only polite, to ask the young lady (it is a lady, yes?) if she has a preference as to the position to be adopted for mounting.

thought that stuff had been banned years ago, am sure it was banned way back when i was designing big IT rooms and such like
let's hope she's female, unless your in the habit of asking males how they prefer to be mounted
erm... it was - but still the best stuff for no residue extinguishers.
unless yu are trapped in a large IT room
.
or a submarine.....

Bring Back Halon! It puts out fires even large fires without damage to vehicles ect its bad for living things in an enclosed enviroment but it would put the bloody fire out its like perfecting a cure for cancer and then say no you cant have that it damages the o zone layer. But surely the fire not being put out causes more damage to our planet? Halon is totally fit for purpose but we are not allowed to use it. I actually have 2 and will use them if I ever need to put out a fire and I will face the prosocution if and when I need to Jai
Halon is for all the world the same as dry cleaning fluid.
dichloro-difluoro-methane chemical Formula C Cl2 F2
Halon is also widely used an a gas anaesthetic. One of the very best. I have been put out on Halon quite recently for an op. Nice sleepy sensation and no hangover.
Using it will CLEAN the insides of the Landy.
Dry powder is sodium bicarbonate - aka baking powder - usually blown out by carbon dioxide gas, and it makes a disastrous mess.
It also sets quite hard over time IN the extinguisher, so y'all out there with Soda-Bic extinguishers should give them a really good shaking on a regular basis. Once you've used one inside a car the car is wrecked, especially if it gets wet.
I carry a red compressed air wet-water extinguisher in the Disco. The water has detergent added (fairy liquid actually) and it puts out all vehicle fires so far pretty smartish. It is also very good at wetting people while you try to hoick them out of burning cars, so they say.
I've used it 5 or 6 times but luckily never had to on my own vehicles.

It was mounted above the washing basket and she smacked it off and bust the handle off it.
