Sound Deadening and Insulation for Defenders
Our much-loved Land Rover Defenders can be on the noisy side at times; however, the good news is that this can be alleviated with Sound Deadening and Insulation sheets. There are no quick fixes to reduce road and engine noise and if you want the problem solved properly it requires a bit of work, but in the end, you’ll be happier with the vast improvement in the quality of the drive. Unwanted noise is created within most vehicles, especially the Land Rover Defender. This occurs across most parts of the vehicle, such as the doors, the engine bay etc. All of which need to be treated using several different methods to achieve worthwhile results.

This is the genuine Jaguar Original Equipment pump. This means that the pump components have been made to original Jaguar drawings and conform with all material and dimensional specifications. All castings are leak-tested prior to final assembly. The components are assembled to specification (exacting tolerances determined by Jaguar) e.g. pulleys are assembled to the correct height to minimise drive belt wear. Impellers are assembled to the correct height to ensure optimum performance and avoid a potentially disastrous foul condition. Bearings and seals are designed to withstand loads and forces prescribed by Jaguar as a result of exhaustive testing under extreme conditions. Assembly processes use load-monitoring to ensure components will not fail prematurely.
The life of a replacement OEM pump can, however, be adversely affected if the car's cooling system is not maintained. Before fitting a replacement pump, it is highly advisable to flush the cooling system under pressure, to clear accumulated debris within the system which can damage the pump if circulated. After the replacement pump has been fitted, the cooling system should be topped up to the correct level with the prescribed proportion of anti-freeze added. Anti-freeze is essential under all temperature conditions as it contains properties which lubricate the water pump seal. Not only does it prevent the coolant from freezing in extreme cold conditions, but it prevents the coolant from boiling in extreme heat.
