I had a 90 with a j19 motor which is the turboed engine land rover had to strengthen it to cope with the turbo .

What a lovely ride up that mountain! Thanks for sharing this!

Is this the 12j engine

Is it the 2.5 diesel ?

Hoyt until you acoustic mat the floors roof and transmission tunnel and doors will you notice noise levels reduced

Fun looking 4x4 track . Perfect for a Land Rover . Plus’s Beautiful views and countryside . Great video . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon .U.S.A. 👍🏼

Is it available for sale bro

What size tyres are fitted? They look skinny in the video compared to 235/85r16's?

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ....

200tdi or 300?

I love it!

Thanks for this! Found so little good information on these products in general and the lead blanket in particular (i like the idea of it as it requires basically no fitting). I was actually thinking about buying a whole load of products and doing just such a comparison video but you've beaten me to it.

They are great little trucks, unfortunately if you get an ex MOD one, they came with the worse engine Ever! They had a 2.5na diesel, while the civilian models came with the 200tdi engine. The reason? They couldn’t fit the 24v alternator to the 200tdi engine. All later ones were fine as they had the 300tdi engine, which could be fitted with two alternators.

Early defender had vents in the roof back panel either side of the door. They were not fitted on later defenders.

Lovely Landy, lovely ride ❤️

Very neat 110 hardtop, looks a great setup

I owned a Defender 90 200Tdi and on the rear , above the rear doors were some louver panels , obviously fitted by a previous owner. They worked very well and were simply riveted into position over some holes. They worked great, were simple and no moving parts. Vents were obviously downwards to prevent rain coming in. They are available on ebay various sizes from 3 pounds each. Fit them in 5 minutes.

Did you soundproof the bulkhead inside the vehicle, or use any other interior soundproofing?

If I understand correctly adding the sound insulation under the bonnet actually increased the noise?!! How is that even possible?

at 2:41 why is the bonnet pulsing like a 'heart'?

Good camera work.

Very nice build, I own an armoured snatch Land Rover, 3 tours of IRAQ with the British army and has been used heavily, but that hasn’t stopped it being restored by myself and my friend, now it looks almost new! Defenders are easily the cheapest, coolest and the best vehicle to rebuild or restore (well...in the U.K. it is, not sure how the parts supply for defenders is in the us) All the best, stay safe, Kind regards, Jack.

Good night friend, what is the name of this piece placed on the left fender? I she a type of snorkel? Obrigado. JOÃO ROBERTO (BRAZIL)

Nice video. hey have you done any upgrades on rear /truck bed ? what other stuff have you done to your Rover since your last upgrade/mod

Lovely drive. That’s where Defenders are at home

Amazing! could you please show on the map the route you took? Do you recommend upgrading form an LR# to an LR4 or doing a similar build like you? Winters here are harsh in Ontario! Thanks for the video (-:

what would you say your average mile per gallon is? I'm looking at buying a defender with this engine. also would you say its been relatively reliable?

That isn't tracing paper, that's just brown paper. Tracing paper is semi transparent. But good video.

Class, I enjoyed that!

nice defender

Nice one,as you say,the camera never really shows the degree of difficulty accurately,but you and your Landy handled it like champions 👍😊

Great video, good tests with the before and after DB meter.

POS car,is it not? Not finished yet; More like an agricultural machine... But for every pot there is a lid...

Nice adventure. Lone wolfing is fun.

I know this is old now but if you want to get the best performance out of the lead blanket you need to tuck it behind the engine as much as possible (between engine and bulkhead)

My i suggest you sir the top 3 engines that this vehicule should have: 1) the cummins 5.9 = lots of power and torque but you have to use an truck transmission. 2) the isuzu 4bd1t with the lt95 (in my opinion the best off road combination especialy if you can get some portal axles) 3) is the 300tdi: best kilometers per liter and decent power and torque between the 3 engines. The 300tdi and the isuzu are factory mounted so if you swap the 2.5 n/a with one of these two you souldn't have to omolagate enything.

Sound deadening is all about "mass", if there's no mass reduction involved, then all the work is in vain. ;)

just a suggestion and what i did with mine ( 200tdi defender) was that i also did the footwells and transmission tunnel where a lot of the sound gets in to the cab with the dynomatt type stuff. i also did the upper part of the bulkhead inside the engine bay and the underside of the front floors. i also have the 200tdi engine blanket and very heavy duty rubber floor mats (about inch thick made from recycled car tyres). with all that in place, its not bad, but its still never a car like experience. will see if i can get an app to record the sound level sometime

So....basically then.....a complete waste of time and money -unless you want to pay to keep your neighbours happy :-( - ! It would appear to me, given that the db figures actually went UP with the insulation fitted to the hood/bonnet, that the vast amount of engine noise is coming through the bulkhead.

If everything else fails,removal of ears is the final solution

MLV - Mass Loaded Vinyl ...use a lot and see a difference, also use closed cell foam or felt(if the engine bay doesn't get wet) - Noise can be reduced by absorption(e.g. with felt or closed cell foam-if it's wet) or blocking(more efficient but introduce weight) with MLV

If you want a quiet car that can do what a 110 does buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee

I would venture to guess that 90% of your engine noise in the cab is coming through the transmission tunnel and some through the firewall.Given the location of the headers to the transmission shifter opening I suspect a large part coming from there. I own a 84' 110 and I have done some extensive sound deadening on the interior using butyl rubber sound treatment on every surface i can reach then overlaying that with a thin dampening material on the floor that is fibrous on one side and plastic on the other. Over that I laid the Exmoor trim carpet set and it really did make a remarkable difference. That's not to say it's "quiet" but it really helped. I currently have the engine out of mine and I am about to remove the entire dash. While they are out I am going to coat them both with sound dampening paint and Raptor lining to close as many holes as possible and also to block as much sound as possible. This will be extremely necessary due to the fact that I am putting an American Small Block V8 Ford motor in the 2.25 liter's place. Follow along on my channel Denton Defender. Would love to help others and offer what I can to keeping Defenders on the road.

You needyo put a sound deadener on your large panels like bonnet fire wall, doors and floor, the vibration of your engine is vibrating large metal panels. So get some buetyle sheets and thatll make all the difference for that car. The foam and fiber glass is good for noise reduction from a noisey object. The heavy damping sheets are good to stop your car acting as a drum( panels, door skins , dash, glass cant do much bout glass though)

Nice mod.

Useless internal comparison as you have zero sound insulation on bulkhead and floor. As others have said you need to soundproof roof, doors sides rear floor. To give you example wife has a Renault Koleos 4x4 and that is pretty quiet inside but she had a small bump on rear passenger side so for a day or two that internal panel was removed ( remember this is just ONE plastic panel ) and sound level was way up. The external test was fine and showed the stuff worked but that engine mat looks soo stupid and amateurish, stick with any of the actual linings that fit to the underside of the bonnet. When I come to do mine as I will be doing a full strip down I will soundproof everything and I am even looking into a paint on application that may help for areas unsuitable for padding. Other than that not a bad video and should be helpful, at least everyone can see how crap that mat looks and so hopefully avoid buying it.

the firewall in every car acts like a fleece of a drum and the car itself is the drum damping the fleece/ firewall means less sound in the car

the problem with sound in your car is your firewall if you can insulate it from the insight that is good but the better way is to take out the engine insulate your firewall with heat resistance insulation like dynacore and than the insight of the firewall that wil give it a giant sound insulation

Where is that ferry crossing I’m in Fort St John bc and from what I know I think it’s in the Clayhurst area but where hah

To reduce the inside noise you must make some heavy carpeting and on top of that some large, cut to measure rubber carpets, plus you need to make a much ticker roof lining, with insulating materials, like the one from recording studios. The Def is like a large hangar, the noise from the engine will enter, but you may reduce the echoing. It worked great with me
