Thread: Puma Rubber Matting System

First off, apologies to the guys who posted questions that never got answered. It's an old post, but I've recently had some questions about it and I looked the old thread up.

Changed FIFO companies and the new internet policy coupled with zero reception for mobile devices meant its been ages since last posting on AULRO. So answers to the specific questions...

Tomo, update on the matting - 18 months down the line and it looks like the day I installed it... absolutely no abrasion, scuffs or damage of any kind. Still the best money spent on the car! Absolutely no heat transfer at all... Many years in Defenders and I've gotten used to the roasted left calf, but with the matting its like a different car all together.

Spencer72, as jimb said they are Melville and Moon. They are insanely expensive over here (agents and direct import), but I've got family over there (RSA) and they bought it over the counter for me at a fraction of the "international" price.

HardCharger, as far as I know its only the front and rear (load box) that have matting systems, but it might be worth contacting Exmoor Trim and inquiring.

Thanks for the great info Lou. I can see I may need this trim in the future. Only had my Defender for two weeks and those corners are splitting!

I will certainly see about getting replaced on warranty but I can see a long term solution will be needed one day.

Hello Lou, Good to see you back on here again.
You certainly did a good job with your matting, not a job for the faint hearted!

Hi Pickles,

Good to be "back" Thanks for the compliment on the matting, but its so well made its near impossible to stuff it up.

Hi EastFreo,

Land Rover in Perth is pretty good with warranty, but just another perk of joining TeamW4 is 20% off the bottom line of services and trade prices on parts at Southern Land Rover (main club sponsor)

Cheers,

Lou

Thanks for getting back to our questions, Lou!

Will send them an email and see how many banks I have to knock over to get the kit!

Lou,the heat coming up through the floor is my biggest gripe with the Defender,does the mating cut the heat down enough to warrant paying the money?. Pat

I have the Wright Off Road matting in my 300TDI (I believe they actually make the Exmoor kit) and can definitely recommend it. They were quite a lot cheaper than going via Exmoor and I got the footwell kick panels thrown in for free. The noise improvement is noticeable but the best benefits are the significantly reduced heat coming off the transmission tunnel and the ease of cleaning. Need to make sure you use fish oil or some corrosion protection under the matting as they do trap some moisture but aren't too bad to remove (although heavy).

Yes, the Exmoor matting system is the one made by Wright Off Road.

Pretty sure Karcraft had them (Exmoor) in stock last time I enquired.
