2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Corris Grey

Never seen one used in anger, but the video/description seems to show that the blanket actually drapes over the back of the engine, not fully covering the top. I think there might be a recommended max air temp, so summer here in the alps might require removal if a long drive or lots of hills are planned. But the rest of the year, and certainly winter, should be fine. I wonder if it will actually make it better in winter? Having said that, will add larger intercooler, hoses etc, in the future so will hopefully all aid heat management. Monsieur Le Grenadier

Out of interest does anyone know what sound proofing twisted use in their defenders?

Try Fatmat instead, very similar to Dynamat but cheaper and the quality seems identical as does performance. Did both my 90 and 110 with it, no issues what so ever to report.

It sat in my 90 for 3 years and going on a year in my 110. Definitely makes a big difference

However its best when used with multiple layers of closed cell foam* where ever you can fit it really! Then a final layer of carpet/rubber trim on top.

*When sticking down use a high temp heavy duty spray glue, not the self adhesive foam, slight bit of heat and it comes away...

+1 Fatmat is what I installed too, and would definetley recommend. Made so much difference and the pricing isn't too bad.

Silentcoat has done wonders for my 110. I've only done the bulkhead, front floor, battery box & a third of the roof but it's made a massive difference! You don't need to cover every inch, I've just dropped one on each panel and got loads of sheets left to use. I did use a heat gun which made it stick like the proverbial...
55mph on the M5 and I can now hear my music!

Does it make a difference to the sound inside the cabin? Monsieur Le Grenadier

By far the best under bonnet insulation I have used is described in this thread

After doing some 1200km over the weekend I was just searching soundproofing as well. A lot of these solutions seem to be helpful at speed up to 70km/h or so. I am really looking to lower it at higher speeds of 120km/h. (I've a 2.2).
The noise killer kits, are they any good at deadening noise at higher speeds?

I suppose it depends on the level of insulation put in. I'll be hopefully doing the following.

Silent coat on all metal skin surfaces including full foot box, plus I'll remove the floor plates and add under as well as over.
High Density Foam sound barrier on inside of door cards, all floor surfaces, throughout footwells , inside seat boxes and twin layer on roof.
Carpet throughout
Rubber floor mats
SC and Sound barrier on all bulkheads
New alcantara roof lining (potentially packed out with acoustic wool.
Engine bonnet insulation, double layer plus foam trim to seal with wing tops, as mentioned in post above.
Bell housing blanket
Engine blanket
Upgraded door seals
Door realignment
New front window seals
New front window clamps Monsieur Le Grenadier

Another vote for silent coat, just completed my 90 last weekend , reinstalled the carpet and test drove and I am impressed the noise has reduced

I also done my doors and they feel and sound so much more solid 2016 Discovery 4

Is this a good deal? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silent-Coat-2mm-...1438.l2649

Can I cut the sheets to fit as needed or do they need to stay whole? 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

i used 3mm

yes very easy to cut to suit

i obviously cleaned the panels then i heated each floor panel or area with a heat gun, just a little heat and the silent coat pads stick better IMHO 2016 Discovery 4
