If your previous post is anything to go by (See below, highlighted in blue), then it sounds as if you've already made up your mind. Or if you haven't, you should use it as a clear indication.

This product seems good value for money. It cost me £30 in the UK for enough to cover the boot space and I had enough left over which I have used under the bonnet.
This is the only car that I have ever bought which I immediately want to be rid of and am beginning to regret the choice.
As well as noise levels, parts seem to be expensive even compared to other vehicles as are dealer prices.
I've had 4 Land Rovers over the last 6 or 7 years....wish I'd bought another one.
I would not recommend using sound deadening on the outside of the arches as there is a good chance of water ingress which will cause rust.
The V90 will be cheaper to run, but I'm not very impressed with the car.
You aren't impressed with the car, actually regret buying it & mentioned that parts are expensive. There's no point faffing around fitting sound insulation on a car you aren't impressed with? Just get rid of it & buy something that suits you requirements, but make sure you look into all aspects of the new vehicle before you buy it.

It sounds to me like you've got buyer's remorse. You jumped into a deal & are now regretting that decision. It does happen, but don't let it happen again & do your research/test drive etc properly in future. In the mean time, if you have the option, get rid of the car & buy something you actually like.

PS. Don't take what I've said the wrong way. I'm just stating simple facts... You don't like the car, stop wasting your time because I highly doubt you'll get to like it based on your posts.
