Guest diesel_jim Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I fancy lining the inside of the 110 with a stick on soundproof, like Dynamat, but it's so friggin expensive (especially with the amount of internal panels on a 110 SW!) anyone know of a cheaper equivalent? it's more or less a foam pad with an aluminium sheet on top.

mmgemini Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 How about camping mats ? The supermarkets are at the end of the season...Either out of stock or wanting rid. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muther Trucker Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 i`ve been wondering the same with mine... i`m going to try loft insulation cos i`ve got a roll of that stuff with the silver wrapping on it, left over... i know wickes or b+q also do a heat proof bubble wrap insulation, which might work, might not...

Steve Hiatt Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Camping mats work well for noise absorbtion and are cheap, Flashband will take out panel vibration. Loft insulation is designed to reduce heat loss, not sound. It will do something, as any material would, but not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellow Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Camping mats work well for noise absorbtion and are cheap, Flashband will take out panel vibration. I have tried the same using DIY tar based roofing materials. Be aware of the fact that some of these products do not stand heat that well, and as such should NOT be placed on vertical or inverted surfaces. When the heat strikes the roof, it becomes really hot, which will dissolve the roofing material. I had to remove them (Most came off by placing the vehicle in the burning sun), and then treated the roof with Rubson Silicone bonding, applied with a block brush. This has a permanent adhesive power, does not melt under the sun, and also diminished the build up of condensation. As an alternative, it is possible to apply this stuff, and then cover with a fabric like Neoprene. Then you have sound proofing an alternative headliner.

headhunter Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I used the noisekiller liquid and found it to be very effective. All interior panels on a 110 including doors covered. No panel drumming/vibration no condensation. I have not fitted the front headlining or door panels, so can keep a close eye/ear on the noisekiller liquids performance. Impressed so far.

TheBeastie Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 good idea Mike. i'll take a look in Lidl's/B&Q It is worth taking a little care since the density of the mat affects its effectiveness as an insulator and sound deadener. I thought likewise last year and bought 6 Tesco Value camping mats for something like a fiver the lot - and they are not worth tuppence! The foam is so thin I didn't even bother fitting them. Much better (albeit more expensive) to get decent density stuff since then you only are going to have the hassle of doing the job once. My only nervousness, having done it, is if it ever caught fire it would add to the nastiness (is having molten plastics drop on you worse than diesel fire beneath you - discuss) but not sure in the grand scale of things whether this is an issue.

ChrisM_110 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I've used screwfix self adhesive flashing tape [#72438 aluminium foil with bitumen backing] against all the big flat panels [roof, van sides, footwells inside and out, and floor panels. Panels warmed with a heat gun, and tape slapped on, it even takes paint well with a decent primer. Over that went some 8mm high density camping mats [Asda 3.47 ea.] trim glued on. Sound quality is much better, and I'm now a bit more insulated too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used expanding foam in various places on my Sunbeam rally car. Including filling the space on the back where the tank sat in what was the spare wheel well. A rang the local fire brigade and asked about the fire risk. "I wouldn't bother about the foam. The covering on the wires will kill you from the fumes first" Was the answer. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On expanding foam - is this the yellow stuff that builders use? It's a nice idea - quick, insulating, sound deadening, light, but wouldn't it tent to soak up moisture and hold it against the panels in a Land Rover (leaky and sometimes submerged) setting?

phoenix Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have just taken delivery of a mat for the rear tub for the 90, the chap is on Ebay nic.wood shop name : U-PM.COM Land Rover. I'll fit it later but on first impressions of the stuff he sells its pretty thick and looks like it will be effective. Not too expensive either, and a nice bloke.

I paid about £30 for enough to do a 110 with 2 coats. You need to paint or roller it on on a warm but not too humid a day. It is water based and can run a bit if it is too humid.

John Hi John .. think I am following you about on here! that stuff sounds good and cheap and easy, is it something you can buy off the shelf? or is it only available direct from 'noisekiller'?
