I found this company the other day which look interesting. I have looked at noise killer stuff aswell but I don't really like the idea of using open cell foam on the floor cos it'll hold water.

It been on many times before, stick lead flashing tape ( from any diy place) on all flat panels you can,then stick camping mats on top of that( they are closed cell rubber so don't hold water) using high temperature glue. Then cover with your choice of carpet or vinyl.
Have a look on here and other forums there are plenty of instructions what to do, some with pictures.

The extra weight of flash band is very little compared to a defender and the cost is little compared To the stuff made for the job. I've found it very effective when combined with the camping mats. Note when looking for camping mats there are a variety of thicknesses and some are 50cm wide others are 60 cm wide.
Note a flash band roll is normally 10metres long and up to 30 cm wide you can cover a substantial area per roll. I've mostly used the 8 inch width as a compromise between coverage and waste caused by cutting down to fit.

I got some loft insulation from b&q plastic bag with foil on one side and glued it to the sides in the back then screwed on some 1/4" ply made a big differences to heat and slight noise reduction been planning to glue camping mats to the roof then cover the whole lot in vinyl the same style as the seats but never got that far
Hi all how I came about to discover this was I was fed up with my roof giving me a ice cold shower every morning so I had some thin insulation boards from a job left over (celotex) so I stuck this to the roof not sure if it would work. I went out in it yesterday the warmth and sound difference was noticeably quieter so when I get chance the whole cab will get done

Get some pics up
Interesting someone is using Celotex - I have used the very same in the pillar voids, the void under truck cab rear window and then simply re-fitted the trim.
I have also used it in my work van on the back doors - it seems to work and is cheaper than throwing it in a bloody expensive skip!
