I've got a Lifeline system in my car, but I've heard people say some interesting things about them.

I'm sure Tim will expand on it..........

Well no, because I've heard good and bad things about them, and I wouldn't know because I've never had to use it yet!

afff isnt the best thing for putting fires out.
its just soapy water,seen a lot of rallycars recently that it hasnt worked on,if you are fitting one get a large bottle type.

ive got a second hand electric one here if you want it cheap?

second hand as in been fitted,not in as been used!!!!
