Would this be the parcel shelf insulation that folks have often talked about having been deleted from the later cars? My car is late 2003 and has the insulation in the parcel shelf itself But this mat is located directly below the parcel shelf on the boot floor..

My OEM under-seat sound panel seems to have an additional section that extends out into the boot floor where the separate mat was fitted in the PPD car. Maybe there was a change mid-production to combine the two separate mats into one?
I've tucked the additional (PPD?) mat up under the extended section of my OEM mat for now.

Not a biggie by any means, but information (particularly from PPD owners) welcome


Cheers,
Karl.
Production change, one for the better in my view, I have highlighted the correct thought in the quoted post.

So not a Project Drive deletion in this case.

Default Sound deadening / insulation

Just noticed on my Cowley car the insulation panel on the front of the plenum chamber is in three pieces. On my 51 reg car it is in one pice; I had the cut it to remove the servo. Was this a Project Drive modification?


Also, I note there is a clamp securing the lower end of the shannon tube, my Y reg car did not have this.


Incidently the trumpet shaped steel inlet pipe for the shannon tube is missing on my Cowley KV6 should anyonr breaking a car be able to supply one with fittings. (I can't find it illustrated on Rimmers' site, not that it's likely they would have it).

I tried to find this in Reebs fantastic illustrated summary, but what about the former "Velveteen" soft-feel finish to the inside door body surround that was replaced with a very standard black grained rubber surround. Was this post Cowley build or another victim of "Drive"?

According to Rimmers, the change-over was 2004 (SN 304111), so Project Drive. My two Longbridge cars (2002 and 2003) both have the flocked/velveteen type.

A great list!

I have a couple more to add, apologies if they've already been covered by other posters.

1. Front footwell carpet removals

I think this happened in early 2003 (I've owned two '52 plate 75s that have had the carpet, but I have yet to see an '03 plate that has the carpet in the footwells.

With carpet

Without carpet


2. Rear of the front seats (Classic and Club only)

My last 2002 Rover 75 had a plastic facing to the rear of the front seats, whilst 2001 Rover 75 has velour.

With velour

Without velour


The plastic in the footwell is a particular bugbear of mine. And once you've seen it, you can't unsee it.

Cheers,
Andrew
