Thread: Soundproofing 93 Defender?

Have fitted dynamat to the rear of my 110 .......now want to do the front

Figured out how to get the two seats out and the rubber floor lining .....but the part of the rubber floor lining that sits up under where the clutch .brake and accelerator pedal looks complicated to remove ..........any one done this ?

Also there is a large plastic cover many screws in it around the gear levers area.
Is it worth removing that to fit the dynamat or just work around it ?

Many thanks

The mat around the pedals just pulls out from memory, or it may be retained by the thin metal strip at the top. Wasn't hard. I reinforced my sound foam with some thin tin to keep it stiff, bit fiddly cutting slots to go around pedals but patients make it ok.

Definitely get that cover of around the gearbox tunnel, it ok to undo but you gotta get the fuse box cover off to remove it I seem to recall.

The other place I wouldn't miss is the bulkhead around the fuse box. I unscrewed the fuse panel and put sound foam (not dynamat) behind it directly on the bulkhead. That made a big difference because there is a good few holes in the bulkhead, they let heaps of noise through if they aren't sealed properly.

Oh, mines a 300tdi not sure how different others are, probably not greatly
