Mark Hi,
May I suggest you also contact www.noisekiller.co.uk ?
Their soundproofing kits are extremely well made (precut with self adhesive
side with different compound and either metallic or rubber/lead upper
surface, 100% waterproof) and do make a difference on noise levels.
I have bought so many kits from them for fellow members of the LR club of
Greece that I am now their distributor and representative for Greece so
there is a connection but I do not make money from UK sales so I have
nothing to gain from recommending them to you.
You can use my name if you wish when you speak to Steve but this is totally
up to you.
Take care
Pantelis
P.S. On the other hand I also agree that spending serious money on a 20
years old vehicle may not be the best decision on a logical and/or financial
basis.
