Alt have a look at the Isuzu thread on noise insulation. I'm not sure if Clarke rubber would have hi density foam sound barrier.

Yes it is a good idea.
I have a few meters of insulation/ heat shield from Clark Rubber to use and I am waiting on a sample of another type to decide which one will be best in that spot.

After much research on this subject I did the front interior of my 130 yesterday. If I was to dynomat it all it would of cost $2k if I did it as per their website. My biggest problem is heat. as a cheap solution I got hold of some Off cuts of e-therm which is an aluminum blanket with foam in between that is used under sheets of iron when building a house. They have website and have many different products available. $15 worth of 50mm aluminum foil tape and 12hrs later the front was done. I was pretty lucky as I had carpet to use as a template. What's it like? I don' know yet. This week will tell. I don't think it is any quieter.

Can't believe it was Feb I last updated this.
Life and work have taken their toll on the schedule. I Won't bore you with the details, sometimes you just have to stop and enjoy the little things.

Whipped the engine back out to do the heat shield.

So... Wiring from the D2 into the Defender has been a hoot?!
With what's left of the hair now turning grey, I have managed to get it all in and the ECUs' communicating as they should.
Put this into the Defer. 10 times more than what was there. (Well lots anyway)
Clever ideas outsmarted myself on 2 attempts with the engine ECU location before the right spot was found.

This spot didn't work.
I had to splice a dozen or so wires from the fuse box in order for it locate in a suitable spot, but was happy to not have to modify any of the loom for low voltage ECU wires.
Blinker and Parking light wires needed to be extended 12" (30cm approx) to fit.
Guards are on, chequer plate etc.
I have a 130 2.4 twin cab i have airbags inside the spring i also have a slide on camper on they work well for me.congatulations to you
On airbags..yes helpers...we have them inside the bigger outer spring as we carry maximum load when traveling with the camper on board, 130's have duel rear springs so it is common to take the smaller inner spring out and replace with an airbag which can be pumped up according to load weight

A few more pics coming, everything including the Defender is in transit/storage to my new place. Actually its an old place but new for us.
I haven't documented too much of the technical bits of the build because much of it has been done very well by others during their project build up.
I am going to provide more info around the Auto conversion and personal mods when I get settled in.
After talking to few folks, I know I'm one of many to fit an auto and one of a few to have the electronic ZF.
It seems most have used the "Compushift" option to make the ZF electronic box happy.
To my knowledge nobody has posted anything on using the D2 electrics into a Defender to make it all work,so I'll post what I've done for anyone interested or inclined towards this option.
But if you are waiting for info which may help you make a decision,.......a spoiler for anyone contemplating using the D2 electrics rather than the "Compushift".......IMO unless you have the donor D2 including the BCU, SLABS, ECU, EATECU and instrument pack, don't bother and just stump for the Compushift.

Hopefully the only time the 130 ends up on a flatbed
Relocated to the new premises at last!

**** yeah.
Td5 nightmare wiring aside, I'm jealous!
Might be shoe-horning a Td5 into something soonish so a good thread
Won't be auto though

So 14 months of nothing but house reno and work.... Finally some time again.
Took most of Friday to locate everything that was packed away and get the dust off.
Not much left to do but its fiddly and time consuming. Planned to start at the front and work to the rear, beginning with the trans cooler and then the AC kit I bought from Peter last year. I acquired a late model TD5/TDci condenser mount and fitted it up easily as I also have the longer nose assembly. Got pretty excited unpacking the kit even though I knew a few bits werent there when I bought it.
The condenser confused me for a moment until I realised it was for the early TD5 and should be mounted between the radiator and IC.- no probs, whip off the IC and bolt it up eh? ..and thats when the problems began.
Since I converted the show to an auto I mounted the trans cooler beneath the IC (as in D2 donor )
image-586894047.jpg
Knowing I would need a custom IC if I wanted something bigger, I opted for a later IC from the Puma which is significantly thicker than the earlier TD5 unit.
The thicker IC, even though a factory item, wont allow the Condenser to be fitted up as planned.
So the lack of room with bigger inrtecoolers on early AC model TD5s includes the later factory coolers too.
Thought id just make up some new brackets and hang the condenser on the later mount frame in front of everything as per later models- doesnt fit and fouls the cross member, same if I use the older style x braces from the 300tdi.
So packed up everything and now to source a new later model condenser.
At least satisfied with the trans cooler

One new condenser for early Td5 coming up in the markets.
Apart from the extraordinary expensive units from LR is there an after market condenser which fits in the late Defender mounts?
