Hi im after a type of material to quiet the inside of my defender. What the best thing to use either way im gonna carpet it after on a budget aswell so not looking for some NASA spec deadning liner lol cheers rob
 
It been on many times before, stick lead flashing tape ( from any diy place) on all flat panels you can,then stick camping mats on top of that( they are closed cell rubber so don't hold water) using high temperature glue. Then cover with your choice of carpet or vinyl.
Have a look on here and other forums there are plenty of instructions what to do, some with pictures.
 
Sure that flashband is well expensive is it well effective and does it weigh much if not and is effective seems the onpy choice
 
The extra weight of flash band is very little compared to a defender and the cost is little compared To the stuff made for the job. I've found it very effective when combined with the camping mats. Note when looking for camping mats there are a variety of thicknesses and some are 50cm wide others are 60 cm wide.
Note a flash band roll is normally 10metres long and up to 30 cm wide you can cover a substantial area per roll. I've mostly used the 8 inch width as a compromise between coverage and waste caused by cutting down to fit.
 
Wonder how effective it would be to use flashing under the car!! Might stop me ****tin meself every time a big stone hits wheel box sections!!
Not sure how well it sticks though !
 
Only covered all inside flat ish panels myself,, I have read of people in south Africa / Australia gluing thin rubber/neoprene/armaflex on external panels to reduce stone impact and to reduce heat soak from outside.
the Q
 
I got some loft insulation from b&q plastic bag with foil on one side and glued it to the sides in the back then screwed on some 1/4" ply made a big differences to heat and slight noise reduction been planning to glue camping mats to the roof then cover the whole lot in vinyl the same style as the seats but never got that far
 
Hi all how I came about to discover this was I was fed up with my roof giving me a ice cold shower every morning so I had some thin insulation boards from a job left over (celotex) so I stuck this to the roof not sure if it would work. I went out in it yesterday the warmth and sound difference was noticeably quieter so when I get chance the whole cab will get done

Interesting someone is using Celotex - I have used the very same in the pillar voids, the void under truck cab rear window and then simply re-fitted the trim.

I have also used it in my work van on the back doors - it seems to work and is cheaper than throwing it in a bloody expensive skip!
