Yup, that was the issue. As I say, now sorted.

If it is the drumming noise you want to get rid of, I would guess it may be best to use self adhesive bitumen based sheets. Like Dynomat.
Then you could put it on the inside rather than the engine bay.
You will learn to love the stuff!

I reckon the triangular sound deadening under the bonnet ois well worth doing. I does cut down on the noise & it also gives the bonnet a good weighty feel.

I have it on nearly all my cars.

If its not an originality thing- would something like dynamat work with the sound deadening situation? It's what it's made for, and pretty durable stuff... just not cheap.

Here is a cheaper alternative to Dynamat
They offer both: Butyl- and felt based insulation.
