    At 120, on the same road at the same time of day I was getting 82-85db today after the insulation I got a average of 71 -74db. definite improvement, can still hear noise from rear wheel wells so that’s on the list next.

    Just done the last of the drivers side foot well and did both doors, wow what a difference, huge change in the cabin sound. There was zero sound proofing in the doors, I think this is the biggest area for sound In the cabin. Definitely will do this on all cars from now on. its so quite at 120, haven’t done the rear 1/4 panels or the rear door yet but the loudest noise now is the air con vents now.

    Possibly I will over the tunnel and the fire wall, will see what sort of difference I get with this first. Just doing the rear cabin has made a big difference

    As most of you Dakar drivers would know the road noise in the cabin of the Pajero gets up there at times, has anyone put in sound deadening. What areas had the most effect. I have done the floor and will start the rear 1/4 panels next. Plan is to do the doors last. The rear section had no sound proofing at all, that seams to have made the biggest difference so far, with the passenger foot well close behind

    Time for 315/75/16s, no point stuffing around with half measures 👌

    Well that was a lot easier than I thought, about a hr a side, total three hours but I also rewraped my exhaust headers as well. if any one is thinking of doing this it’s actually very easy, and saves 500-600aed that the workshop wanted to charge in labour. Total was 367 in parts so not to bad. will see how the car drives after this but the old mounts where completely separated/stuffed. will update after I take it back for its inspection thank you
  16. Stumpy
    Confirmed

    Yeh I agree, I want to delete the rubbish looking plastic as well, makes it easier to get to the wheel and you can mount fuel containers as well. There are people who make the delete panels and the mount for the licence plate, just haven’t found where in Dubai yet. If you do can you let me know?

    Always up for a challenge, 🥴 just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks when doing them. changed the transmission mount not long ago and it still looks ok.
  19. Stumpy
    Quite a few people just make a spacer to pack it out, this one’s a bit extreme but you get the idea. I think the best option is to delete the trim altogether, I think this looks the best and is the most functional there are also spacers available to lift the tyre up when fitting larger tires. you can just turn the mount upside down to achieve the same thing but a bit more work cutting the studs off and swapping them

    Going to try change them tomorrow 🥴 Good eye, I can neither confirm nor deny that the catalytic converter is installed or not installed 😜
  21. Stumpy

    I am using “car scanner pro” app on a 10 inch android screen. (Don’t have a good photo but I have 10 gauges up on the screen at one time, including engine temp, gearbox, intake, MAF etc.) I am using a veepeak obd11 Bluetooth reader to transmit data. this set up works on my brother in laws Y61 (bravo echo) except he doesn’t get gear temp as it manual. ( he’s just using his phone at the moment as the screen)
