Ideally looking to do some trialing - I think I'm unlikely to be taking the car circuit racing! I do want something that has a slight chance of putting a small fire out rather than just for keeping the scrutineer happy.
Is there any reason why you can't fit a larger extinguisher from a scrutineering perspective? A three litre one is at least half the price and presumably gives you fractionally more chance of putting out a fire, or does it specifially have to be 2.4 litres?
I've dealt with various vehicle fires over the years, and once managed to extinguish a rapidly melting Reliant Rialto with only a tiny powder extinguisher when I thought I had no chance. I'm of the view that an easily accesible battery isolator is just as essential as a fire extinguisher, and having one fitted has prevented me from having to use the extinguisher in the past.
