Sound proofing?

Now that the Series is starting to look the part, i'm wanting to make it a tad quieter to drive. Has anyone sound proofed theres yet? if so what did you use? also has anyone seen a series with the sound proofing kit and carpet set available from Paddocks. For arround £100 they sell the sound kit and carpet set which on paper seems like money well spent.

Never got it as it looks a bit pricey, especially when i dont regularly drive the LR anymore, but this always looked good, goto http://www.exmoortrim.co.uk/erol.html and search for "Moulded Matting System".

Also these guys do matting for your bonnet & gearbox http://www.noisekiller.co.uk/, but dont know if they do anything to fit series, again not had any experience & not seen any other opinons.

Hope that helps,

Ed

Thanks Ed. That moulded matting system looks VERY god. It is a bit on the costly side though. Mind you it would be the best so far for off-roading aswell.

for sound proofing try carpet felt, half inch stuff, if you need carpets bound give me a shout .

I've got the noisekiller stuff in my diesel series 1, certainly made a massive differance and the bits were the right shape.  Sadly the glue only lasted about a year but maybe I didn't clean the metal as well as I should?

Having seen a molded type I think I'd prefer one of them (though they don't come spacificly for a series 1 so they need modifieing).  My resioning being they probubly hold together better, more durable and might be easyer to remove if you need to get the floor out (like I did when the gearbox broke).  To be fair the noisekiller kit is tolarant of mud and abuse too.  Don't think I could say the same for felt!
