I've been on a bit of a mission over the last couple of weeks to make my defender quieter  :!: I've removed the transmission tunnel and floor sections and refitted them with sealant. I've cut up a large rubber boot mat and glued it around the seatbox, which looks quite smart  :wink:
Also I have sealed all the holes in the battery box and put some new seals on the access hatches under the seats.
It is alot better than it was but I still feel it could be quieter. Has anyone got any simple cheap mods to reduce road noise etc.
The noise I seem to be hearing is the engine  :-k
Its a 1994 90 200 tdi HT by the way.

Paul:
Now about a sound proofing kit..?

My 90 had a sound deadening kit on it when I got it.  The underbonnet stuff fell off the first time I went off road, but it had been on since 1996, previous owner only used it on road and occasional run across a field for work.  It still has soundproofing under the rubber mats on the floor and all over the seat box and it's the quietest defender I've been in.  Worries me though cos when the bearings go in the gearbox I won't hear them :D

diesel_boy:
get rid of it and but a v8  much quiter  unlike mine sounds grate from the exsaust  tube

Skywalker:
Must admit some soundproofing is on the list for my defender, was wondering about this stuff :-
