bm52 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 hi can anyone advise on the best way to add a sound proof mat under the bonnet. i was wondering if you can buy waterproof 'felt' on a roll and cut off what you need. thanks bm52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlue88 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 The 200 and 300tdi's had under-bonnet soundproof carpets as standard(they tend to fall apart easily tho) just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntman Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Don't buy the paddocks kit, it's really, really poo. If you want to kill the noise, seroiusly purchase a noise blaket from noisekiller, advertised in the usual magazines. I was passenger in one and couldn't belive the difference.

Top90 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Second vote for Noisekiller. Made a noticable difference to my 300TDi and my Td5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychoS Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I have been very happy with ordinary self adhesive sounddeadening foam with foil on the non-sticky side. Two 50x100x3 cm sheets was enough for my bonnet. I measured and cut so the foam fits in the hollows between the frame of the bonnet. Thereby the adhesive has a uniformly flat surface to adhere to. Before fitting I removed the bonnet, soaked it in first engine degreaser, then brake cleaner and finally cellulose-thinner, with lots of scrubbing at each stage, in order to get a perfectly clean painted metal surface. It has been there for approx. one year now and has done wonders for the noise level in the cab. Total price approx £25 including cleaning materials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bm52 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 i'm interested in the foam as well ....or...possibly the Noiskiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GL88 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I have been very happy with ordinary self adhesive sounddeadening foam with foil on the non-sticky side. Two 50x100x3 cm sheets was enough for my bonnet. I'm interested in who supplied this too both for under the bonnet and for the rear wheel arches (under the carpet). But surely this stuff isn't 3cm thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychoS Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Where did you get the foam from? There's loads of stuff out there - ebay etc, but i'd rather buy some that works! I bought the foam from Biltema. They have shops in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. It's a wonderful shop for Land Rover owners ;-) http://www.biltema.dk/products/product.asp...p;iItemId=83277 However the product is common generic engine compartment noise dampening material made for small boats. In the past I have bought similar sheets from boating supply shops. The picture in the link above should give you an idea. I believe that getting the surface absolutely clean and cutting the form into pieces that will lay flat against the metal is vital for succes.
