Mine doesn't have that. Just a plain steel undertray. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Go to a breakers and get the sound deadening pad from under any bonnet and cut that to shape.

One step ahead of you. I got a replacement under bonnet pad "Free" from Powerfuluk, as they were replacing their F2 bonnet and were just going to chuck it in the skip. I dug out my damaged pad (rats chewed a fair chunk out of it), but it's not the same material as on the under tray, However, if I cannot find the correct item, I may just end up using it.

I think my 2014 SD4 has just the metal undertray.
Maybe have been deleted on late models.

Just took the undertray off . Yes - bare steel undertray, no padding Jules

That’s the part number for what looks like an insulation blanket to cover the complete oil pan. The insulation blanket to go on the under tray is flat.

Did JLR swap the undertray insulation for the oil pan insulation ? Jules

2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e HSE Manual Lago Grey

you can't purchase the undertray pad separately, it comes as part of the undertray.

mine got covered in oil and after enquiring at dealers, I just removed it as I did not want to buy a new undertray

and it does make a difference without the pad, it is noticeably noisier, but as I had decided to change the car I wasn't too bothered.

2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Dynamic Manual Santorini Black

Sounds like the undertray pad may have been swapped for the moulded Sump blanket on later models - my 2014 definitely has a furry moulded blanket on the sump but (from memory) I think just a plain steel undertray with no pad - 2014 TD4 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic

Did yours have the insulation around the oil pan as well as the pad on the undertray? Jules

Had enough of searching for the genuine article, so went for this off Ebay for only £10, with more than enough left over to use elsewhere on the vehicle.

Don't know how good it is yet, because I've decided to refresh the paint around the edges where it's worn away. As soon as it's dry, I'll refit and report back.
But boy can you hear the road noise without the tray fitted !!

Just to add, I've decided to give the front subframe a spruce up too, while the tray is off. Rust inhibitor, paint, then maybe a waxoil .

Well I spruced up the front subframe. Now the under tray is back on and all I can say is "what a difference!".
The noise from under the bonnet is drastically reduced, even whilst revving the engine up. Glad I did it now .

@ RB

Good to know.
I wonder if having the oil pan wrap (as I do) and then adding some sound insulation to the plain undertray would have a combined effect on sound transmission.
For £10 maybe worth trying.
Have you a link to the sound deadening stuff ? Jules
