a grand????? to chance a few simple gaskets???? i also don't know what the engine strengthener is

Mine doesn't hv bar but everything else the same! You could buy csw window surrounds to finish it of a bit in back, that's what I'm gonna do

2007 I think. Mines a tdi "utility" been done with 88 sides. The trim just sounds like they haven't refit the window trim as there's no windows anymore,so it kind of just stops after doors

loads on ebay!!

just done mine last month. razor scraper,wet n dry, tin of brake cleaner, compressed air (i used aerosol tins) all good for cleaning and blasting out muck

Budget? If money no probs get 2 super posh exmoor high backs. They have pics with 2 seat set up

That's disappointing isn't it!! I guess it will be an expensive project to make significant improvements. I bet if you topped it with a wrights matt it would help. That is what I will eventually do! Another trick I heard for the bonnet was to get a full length chequer protector and fill the...

don't know! it definitely has rubbers on as i replaced 2!actually when studying the engine at tick over on the vid the whole thing moves quite a bit! think im gonna look at the mounts!!

yea its got head lining, also recently sound deadned the front cab with no effect on the boom. Im starting to wonder if its maybe an engine mount. from the vid you can hear its not an audible noise from engine bay. so must be something resonating causing such a low frequency.

right took the bonnet off and done some filming. it only booms under load, any gear its rev dependent. so to eliminate wind noise as best as pos i stuck it in low range 2nd gear. from outside you cant really hear the booming! but inside you def can! defender 300 tdi booming - YouTube

just noticed it gradually over last 4 month!

standard air box and intake no snorkel. I originally though it was the intake, i have a thread running about that too but that was more to do with a popping noise i was getting and was cured when i changed head! ive ran it with air box lid off, booming no change but noticeably louder air...

had new gaskets and studs when new head went on. looks like i will be chucking money at it til i cure it! next thing to try might be replacement down pipe! wonder if its possible for manifold to blow past the "push in parts" there is no sign of soot but i suppose its worth checking

so covered all panels with silent coat, and most of bottom of car with mlv and its still no different?

new tailpipe and midpipe didnt cure it!!:Cry:
