Just wanna say that I fitted a product called Dead Mat that I bought from eBay around my engine bay and it has made a massive difference to the noise. I did it myself. and saved about 50% compared to noise killer.
Anyway happy with myself so thought I would shout about it.

Re: Insulation
I've used silent coat and have to say the improvement is well worth the cost. Are you insulating too?

Re: Insulation
I will buy some more to do the front. 5mX0.5 only just covered the engine bay. Want to do the front cab. The guy also advised me to put a square (as opposed to completely cover) on each panel to help take out the rattles. I will insulate with their another product with is like a 22mm foam with foil on both sides.
I will take some photos tomorrow.

Re: Insulation
No idea why but when trying to upload pics from photobucket I'm getting a message in red text, something about pixels!

Re: Insulation
I've also got more with the insulation in place if interested. Bizarre that photobucket should decide to play up one minute and then fine the next.
