How did LR make the 2.2 bonnet more soundproofed than 2.4?
MIght have been here but I read the 2.2 bonnet is more soundproofed by LR than the 2.4's was. How did LR do it, & is it as good as aftermarket soundproofing on a 2.4? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world.

Its not the bonnet but a plastic cover on the engine that distinguishes the 2.2 from the 2.4 in terms of accoustic embellishments. From what owners have said, however, the 2.2 is quieter anyway - plastic cover or not.

Think Dgardel was looking at fitting a 2.2 cover on his 2.4. Believe quite a bit of butchery is involved. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Maybe the DPF acts as a sound deadener... Whistle Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

and the various holes in the bulkhead where pipes and wires go through to the inside are sealed better in the 2.2
