Default Fire Extinguisher for car

I am getting a better fire extinguisher for my car as I only have a little powder one that Ive had in there for years

Is the following one in the link below the right one to get, it also has a gauge on it aswell to tell you its still pressurised, and one of the guys that comes round our work said he can service it for me aswell once a year

Cheers
Steve

Same thing happened to a black Fiesta Turbo at Nat Day, he pulled into the pits and stopped and all of a sudden a huge fire started under the bonnet.Marshals stood there looking and me and a few other spectaters jumped off the pit wall, grabbed fire extinguisher's and put it out for the owner!!Regards Micky
