Various sized pads available here

Then just cut to size. Although I bought a pre-cut kit from a place online quite a few years ago. This had pieces to go under under the carpets front and rear, under the rear seatsand under the boot mat. You could also specify an under bonnet kit which would cover under the bonnet and the bulkhead. If you are interested, I'll see if I can dig out their details.

After keeping on getting hits for a high street shop with a similar shortened name I thought I'd post the link...

 

Woolies

 

I cannot help thinking after the recent heavy rain a number of us with leaky cars will need them. My sound insulation in the footwells is now out for the binman as a wet soggy mess in a couple of carrier bags.

 

What secrets a carpet can hide :angry:

I've just ordered some felt from Wollies. Part No. 292. It looks about as close to the original Pug stuff as one is likely to get.

 

Half an inch thick and latex backed.

 

I'll let you know when it arrives how it looks and suits the job.

 

Here is a picture of it.

I found a nice puddle behind my passenger seat yesturday :D

 

Only water I had in the car last year (I mean 2005!) was because of the heater matrix, so god knows where this lot has come from.

 

The only bit of insulation I have left is behind the drivers seat. ;)

 

Higgy.

Hi Joe,

 

Just got mine :)

 

A. Yes, it'll lay a treat and is far in excess of Pug OE quality. It is denser for one thing.

B. I'm 100% positive it will.

 

It is Quality stuff and highly recommended. One roll of the stuff (at £20 all in) will do the whole car.

 

To really put the cream on it, Woolies are a lovely company to deal with and my roll arrived next day, packed to perfection.

Jim, that's good to hear. It is quite rare to deal with a company that has good customer service, so it is something that should be praised :lol:

I'm hoping so Dan!

 

By the looks of the rolled up size of the stuff I reckon a better than evens chance it will.

They're a different animal altogether. Those are the stick-on pads that stop panels drumming. Very useful on large expanses of metal behind trims but not really the right stuff to go under carpets.

I found the cheapest place to get the insulation was from a scrap ZX! Most of them seam to be leak free and it's a nice big piece you can trim to size for the 205 boot.

Plus you can buy a big roll of that stuff from Wickes or other DIY places. Look for ungritted self adhesive roofing felt. Its thicker than brown bread etc too and it'll do a number of cars.

 

The felt from Woolies sounds interesting though, think I'll get some as well.

Is it this stuff that you bought?

 

Sound deadening felt

 

I also need some, having started the first stage of weight reduction by removing the sodden felt from the rear passenger side and letting the carpet dry out. Got minging musty hands now :)

just remember that replacing damp/wet insulation is pointless unless you repair the source of the leaks! the 205 carpet sucks because its totally sealed meaning once the water is in there it isn't coming out .

Yeah, I've replaced the rear 3/4 seal on the driver's side window(fitting that was a barrel of monkeys!).

 

You could physically see the water running in whilst it was raining! The back seats are out and I've propped the trailing edge up to allow the remaining moisture to escape. OnceIf this rain ever stops it be a lot quicker to get it sorted, what would be ideal is a heated garage to allow it to dry out a bit quicker. I just would like to get my hands on the bits so that when it's ready to put back together I'm good to go.
