[QUOTE="Vanquish, post: 196426, member: 84"] Mr. Tappish, Did you write this after a couple of beers, aah ? 1st of all, we're not driving an E60 or E38 so engine and other noise will get into the cabin no matter what. Yes, some sound proofing will help but won't eradicate the problem completely - the firewall area is the area between the cabin and the engine bay running from the floor all the way to the back of our dash. Given the age and mileage your car has done, both the engine (lifters, valves etc) and the firewall insulation material needs work as both Iceman and LCP has pointed out. Both will involve a tidy sum of cash - I can help you with the soundproofing bit / changing of various rubber lining and etc but set a budget first and we'll take it from there! Cheers, VaN. [/QUOTE]
