I would be careful with the app, some don't read over 100dB, and most of the free ones are garbage for providing any useful numbers. I took a reading in a quiet room (as far as I could tell): 50db average, 62db peak. That's the baseline I'm working to.

Managed to get some numbers for sound levels using Decibel 10th -admittedly this app isn't the best way to do it. I stuck the phone to top of centre cubby box and drove from 0-70mph: Max. reading: 102 dB Average reading: 92 dB Will be proofing some panels tomorrow, so will do same test after...

I'm no expert, but I reckon they'd be good for heat insulation, but poor for acoustic insulation. If I understand the issue correctly, what you want to do for acoustics is either: 1. Stiffen the panel, which means you increase the resonant frequency - this takes the vibration (hopefully) above...

Are you looking to apply the fibreglass to the roof directly, like a wet lay-up? Little more info on the "Superflex" which is actually a 3M product in disguise: 3M? Sound Deadening Pads suppress noise and vibration. 19.7 inch squares. Alm.

I've got a nasty Corsa shaped dent on the PS arch thanks to a t-boning, baseball cap wearing tool. He managed to bend the radius arm by about 2degrees which meant it sounded like there was a squirrel living under the bonnet. Corsa was a flat-pack write-off, meanwhile I drove home. This is...

And Superflex photos...

I've seen the Fatmat and Dynamat stuff, but I couldn't justify the cost given size of 110 interior -although I realise you only need around 40-60% panel coverage to change the resonant frequency of any panel, this would still cost around £400. To boot, I'd sooner not worry about tearing...

Have just bought some non-dynamat sound proofing material that isn't noisekiller for the 110. Thought mayaswell do it while I've got it in pieces. Spec is something called Superflex, supplied by Wayside Adhesives. Anyone heard of 'em? Will post review and before/after video for full...

Just a post to warn people that Admiral grp (and child companies -Elephant etc.) are eagerly conducting fraud audits to check any and all driver and vehicle details. Necessary to provide the following docs: Main driver license (both parts, all sides) Named driver license(s) (both parts, all...

Thanks for replies. Replaced pads, reused shims already in there, and changed pins & springs. Worth noting that the pads did not come with pins or springs. Decent branded pads don't need Cu grease, as most have a tacky coating these days. Cheers, Alm.

Cheers - that makes my life a little easier then. Means I've more time rewiring the fusebox. Alm.

Pretty sure making one will cost you about 1000 times less, and it will be less prone to LR design faults. Unless of course you're the monopoly man, in which case I'll sell you one for £50. Alm.

Does anyone know if RR (up to 1994) anti-squeal shims will fit a 1998 300tdi 110...? I've yet to change the pads on the 110 but it's on my to-do list this weekend.

Part you're looking for is BTR6194 (for right hand side), it's a bit of bent tin with 4 clearance holes in it and it squishes the top of the rubber trim into the heater duct. Alm.

page 20 here is fairly useful...I am having a similar issue. http://www.legionlandrover.com/manuales/electrical%20schemes%20-%20defender%20300%20tdi.pdf

200tdi TC competing 110 for sale pics (changed my mind and keeping) and Lightweight on a Sileby quarry fun-day eons ago will grub up photos of V8...

Cheers Pete - In which case I will check the connections feeding the header joint, C285-7, but could be a problem at A92... ....appreciate the input. Alm.

Not sure if this has been said or not, but flasher operates on it's own circuit and doesn't share the same lines as dipped/main beam. It does share the same relay though. Ultimately, this means you can "flash" without having side lights or dipped lights on. I will assume you've checked all...

So I've an issue with one of them header joint K109s on the 110, rave says the blue one behind instrument panel need lookin' at. Current problems: 1. No horn - hotwiring at grille says the horn unit works (neighbors can confirm this) 2. No radio - not like I could hear it anyway 3. No...

Cyclic sound is usually just that, something going around. Recently noticed a similar ticking that was resonating in the cab, turned out to be coming from the fan belt region... Replaced tensioner bearing after locating ticking using a steel wire and job done. See if ticking persists through...
