Nice truck, I want my USW in the same green, never even considered any of the other colours, but both our IIAs are light green so wanted something as close as could get

Yep very nice, my 90 hard top is the same colour, I love it. How did you find the fitting of the underbonnet noise killar? Easy to fit, I have read that it comes off quite easily, how did you secure it? Cheers Will |

Will, cheers. There's not many around in this color kind of made it hard to make the decision, glad i did
re: noise killer kit, I spent an hour really cleaning the surfaces first with white spirit. Going over them twice still turned the rag black with engine grime and that's on a new car..So i guess just really makes sure it's clean first before you apply. Mine are fine at the moment although only been on for a week or so. I think maybe the engine blanket blocks some heat coming off the engine so as not to heat the adhesives up on the bonnet pieces. Heat may make them come loose over time. I'll keep you updated if i get any problems. 110 HT TD5 - 110 XS SW Puma |

Some more pics for the Keswick appreciators out there !
Some mods I've done recently are to change the shocks to OME Nitro Chargers and added a patriot full length rack + eezi awn side awning + tent. looking forward to sticking a big ol GB sign on the back and go off for me holidays in Portugal this summer. Haven't had any probs with her so far at 5000 miles, it's been a pleasure.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge 110 HT TD5 - 110 XS SW Puma |

Love Keswick Green, I ended up with Galway and not regretted it one bit nearly had the metallic red glad i didnt now, I was originally going to have a Keswick Van but ended up with an XS so the metallic didnt cost more in the end.
You mention the under bonnet noise reduction what did you buy did it make much difference how much did it cost how easy was it to fit??? all the best Rob DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS, I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

robertjameswattsrob - I brought the noise killer under bonnet kit + the engine blanket. Easy to fit the blanket just sits on top of the engine and the bonnet kit is self adhesive. In my opinion the engine blanket makes the biggest difference. It's heavy duty , has lead in it i think. The under bonnet kit is a bit patchy ( adhesive pads ) , not sure how effective it is as you can't do the whole bonnet just the places where the holes are. Hope that helps
