Have one in the boot wedged in a box with jump leads, ratchet straps, shackles and towing straps etc.

Absolutly no idea what the expiry date is but its been in various motors over the last 5 years so could well be out of date :shock:

Gonna check tomorrow
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one :-(

If you have a Foam extinguisher It’s worthwhile checking the temperature operating range of it, as some foam types are from +5c to +60c.
So at only +5 in cooler weather may me an issue left out in the car.
It’s not really a problem as you can get them recharged with foam and anti freeze in.
