Jesus It might be me but driving a 14 year old R75 that was a superb car in its day why would you want to change the way it rides or sounds. Its been said many time when dealing with classic cars etc that modifications devalue the car thats all.

With regards to noise? because my Post PD car was incredibly loud over 60mph - maybe yours isn't but surely making it a nicer place to be isn't devaluing it. I got fed up with the sarcastic remarks from the Mrs about how if we had a decent car we could have a conversation because we could hear each other - so I did something about it. I don't get those comments any more, I enjoy driving it more, the car still looks original to the untrained eye and the modifications cost maybe £150.......

You may have an exceptionally quiet car, not all 75`s sound the same. I know one car with half the mileage of my saloon 120,000 and is younger, there is a difference in sound. You would think that the lower miles and younger age it would be more quiet but it is not.

I intend to extensively sound deaden my tourer this summer.

I was in a zr last week before and after it. We car was so quiet you didn't have to raise a voice at 70mph to talk.

I plan to do inside the door skins, the door skins fitting to the front, boot lid rear and the entire tourer rear boot floor for now.

I thought these were relatively quiet cars anyway.

How quiet do you want it?

My diesel ZT-T now that is quiet for a diesel although I don't take any notice as I always have some form of music playing.

That's actually about 5th or 6th on my 'to do' list as well. My car is pretty quiet now but I suspect I'm getting quite a bit of road noise through the doors. The boot is usually full of family coats so I'm not as fussed about that.

I'd put a PPD carpet in as well but I can't be bothered taking the interior to bits...........

You open windows fully and just cut to size - make sure it covers all the rubber though so you'll need to feed it inside the frame a bit - if you feel you have to trim the width you haven't got it in far enough
Hi Mystabe (Dave)

Thanks for this tip and I have bought the tape ready to do the job.

Just a couple of questions:

When you did the front channels where did you start putting tape in channel. Did you just do the top channel of the door at he top of glass, or did you start down by the mirror and go right round the channel and down the other side to door handle ?

Same question for rear doors: Just the top of glass, or right round the door ?

If you went round door corners, did you have to cut tape into corners, or just feed tape tightly round ?

Did you use any particular tool for feeding tape into channel, or just 'Fingers'.

By the way, I agree with your comments about Wind Deflectors. I had to remove mine because they created so much wind noise.

Thank you

I find the electric mirror button rattles too much, need to pop something under it to hold the button clear of its rest! No joking.
