When people replace the underlay in the foot wells what do they use. The same stuff again or something else. The felt in my car is damp and so i need to replace it. Any suggestions??

Sounds good. The car has been sitting as an unfinished project for the last three years. So mouldy and would like some new stuff.

Uploading some pics at the minute.

meh underlay is for gays! its not like you drive in your slippers so are looking for that soft luxurious feel like you get in your living room!

may as well just leave it out and use the standard carpet.

I had this problem with my Calibra, turned out to be a blocked drainage snorkle on the bulkhead, cleared it and never had the problem again.

Hoe did the Cali Run without the Cam Pulleys Shaun? Was there much of a power gain? lol

I think it was for less drag on the drive train to stop the 4x4 system breaking. lol

Well it'd definately reduce the pressure on the Running Gear.

I think the only thing it would add pressure to is the towing eye lol.

It was fooked when I bought it, but got a locked transfer box fitted.

Was replacing the water pump when this photo was taken.
