humpf, some here are increasing their car collection by squaring n cubing, and geometric progression ,especially the bankers who compound their interest!

I was just asking a friend for a fire extinguisher the other day. Looks like I better push him for it. At 60 bucks, I think it's a darn good investment
Mine comes with one but not sure if it works fine or need a recharge. Anyone knows when and where should one "service" their fire extinguisher?
Ha ha... yeah, just not sure if mine is a "OEM" one and if I can easily fit other types onto the same place (read shelf right behind the passenger seat).
The $60 ones are dry chemical ones which you find everywhere, even in carparks & offices. They are cheap BUT if you ever use it, your car will be covered in a dry powdery coating which is hard to remove on hot surfaces. It is also corrosive. What I strongly recommend is a 1.5kg $150 (before gst) Halon extinguisher, diameter of the cylinder is roughly 9cm and fits between the seat and sill of my 355. Halon isn't manufactured anymore, because its very harmful to the ozone layer, but its still plentiful in stock. These extinguishers need to be ordered, they aren't just sitting on a shelf. Halon will not corrode your engine if you use it. As for servicing, the regulations say to check every year but the guy who sold it to me said if the dial is still in the green then its still probably ok. I did quite a lot of research and hunting around to find this, you can see the details of who to call in the picture. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Coincidentally, I took out the powder extinguisher from my other car & put it into my Lamb this morning! Yes, powder is bad news for cars. Btw, I bought mine from Carrefour in Malaysia, probably RM100? I can get for you guys for home use. Anyway, I did some research into this before. Best is to get the marine type for boats, MP should know better. If the car burns. That small bottle is not going to help a raging fire under cover & it's impossible to pop open the cover & spray into the base of fire either without grilling yourself. Probably good while you're in cabin so make sure the extinguisher is within reach & not tucked behind you or somewhere else! Lastly, if it does burn. Let it go & make sure you have the correct insurance! Unless, it's an important classic
