Hi can anyone advise on the best of the above ? I think there is a set up that can fit under the bonnet with small pipes ??

You need a plumbed in fire extinguisher system, with the bottle in the cabin and the nozzles plumbed into the engine bay. You can get them in either mechanical or electonic triggered versions.

SPA make nice systems. http://www.spa-uk.co.uk/design/firesuppressionsyst...

I'd avoid AFFF extinguishers like the plague. I've seen a couple in action and it's no exaggeration to say you'd be better off p*ssing on the fire.

Well worth spending extra on a proper extinguishant.
