I also made a larger heat shield beside the steering column which made a noticeable differenceYes the modern insulation certainly makes an improvement over the old original stuff
I used a combination of acoustic and thermal on my DS

Yes, carefully overlap and mind the gap!Panel bonding adhesive... not a bad idea! How do you do the joins of the panels? Just overlap them and then use filler to smoothen the seam?
I can imagine that working ok on long seams like the door skin, but how does it work on corners and small areas where one would normally weld to close the join?
good progress though, but also still a fair bit to do if the engine has to come out...
Thanks Faulksy, absolutely on the list insulating the firewall. Did I read somewhere you had also wrapped your exhaust manifold? How did that go?Engine out is a good time to have a look at the clutch and insulate the firewall on the engine bay side. Might also be worth looking at the engine mounts while you have easy access.
Thanks Budge, sphere out and done, had not considered the engine breather - on the list now. Parking break has plenty of meat on it, but I’m not looking forward to compress the parking break springs as part of removing the engine...Change the accumulator sphere. Replace the parking brake pads. Take the green, domed engine breather off the block and check it isn't all gummed up inside.
