Oh, that was tacky roof bars that were removed at point of sale. I couldn’t drive back home with those things on. Looked hideous.

Mine is a ppd car so has got the earlier sound proofing mentioned.

Seriously, where else can the sound deadening be fitted? Would an extra layer on the engine bulkhead, rear parcel shelf and sides and bottom of the boot well make an appreciable difference do you think? Would the foam sheets if fitted to the wheel arches not soak up water leading to rust on the panels?

I fitted extra sound insulation to the boot area of my current V6 and have just recently carried out similar work on my project car.

I’ve stuffed all the nooks and crannies around the rear wheel arch using a full bag of cushion stuffing from Dunelm Mill, then added tailored cuts of carpet underfelt to the inside of the rear wings and around the spare wheel. Finally I’ve added an extra layer of underlay below the boot floor.

It does make a difference and incidentally I also carried out this work on my late Jaguar XF as I found it to be even nosier than the 75 when travelling with the rear seats folded down.

I've done loads (did floor, boot, doors, bonnet, parcel shelf and a-pillars). I found carpet underlay (Cloud 9 specifically) a good material for sound absorbtion at a reasonable cost.

I noticed when I had a wing off on my 2004 diesel there was a plastic bag with foam in it wedged down between the wing and body near the door.
Also extra sound deadener on the under tray on the diesel.
I would think putting deadener inside the doors would make a big difference.
Maybe a bit more under the rear seat might help as well.

Anyone got a picture of the sound proofing on the bulk head that was deleted on later cars ??
