2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 CSW Stornoway Grey

noisekiller engine blanket highly recommeded

I fitted the above today. It takes 5 minutes and I am astonished by the result - the engine noise has halved.

They do a special L shaped one for the Puma. Its £95 well spent - no need for the rest of the kit which is £280. You use the 3 releasable cable ties but I would get a couple extra so you can find suitable solid anchoring points. You can still access the dipstick with it fitted too.

I also covered the rear wheel arches with butyl flashing (two rolls of 5m x 150mm from any builders merchants) and that has halved the splashing sound you hear when driving on wet roads (raining all day here) so it must work. The rest of the car is pretty well sound proofed at the factory I think so job done !

Click image to enlarge

there you go
what isn't visible in the photo is the flap that tucks down the back of the engine hence the L shape overall. You just have to bend it away from the exhaust manifold.

You can also get an under bonnet kit but I think the blanket is better as it muffles the din at source

sorry nikojo just noticed this but no pictures I'm afraid. I just plastered it on from the inside and put the carpet back on - job done and hidden !
