If you go the carpet route then don't do all the way down to the internal gutter (for want of a better description  :)  ). That way if you do get a leak then you can avoid saoking all the carpet when driving around. I'd leave 1 to 2 cm's it shouldn't be visible as a gap from a sitting position.

Spray on glue.. works wonders. Don't use foam backed carpet unless your keen on floppy tents :)

Also bear in mind the flamable properties of what ever you use.

On the floor use rubber matts or Cheap off cuts of carpet that you won't mind slinging when they get wet.

Rippley underlay is great for reducing noise in the 101 but the engine lids does tend to dry it out and it becomes brittle. As the lid needs removing to access the engine it's a PITA. Any where like this just use 2 layers of carpet but a 110 / 90 should be alot quiter than sitting on a V8  :)

Camping mats are cheap and on offer at Aldi every now and then, but again check they aren't flammable.

i fitted the same to my 90 and i bought some sound deadoning fitted mat system for the front - (you can see the advert in the landie mags ?) made a huge difference and its so easy to clean!  :lol:  :lol:

I looked into this when I had my series landy.

I was going to get some big sheets of polystyrene and glue that to the roof and sides and then put carpet over the whole lot. It would be very easy to do whilst the bits arent on the landy.

If anyone knows how to stick head lining back up in a normal car ie rover 620 that advise would be gratefull as so far I have used spray on glue through the gap where a plastic lug sits into the roof but I just made a big sticky mess and still a saggy roof!
