When pottering/cruising it's quiet. This is helped massively by the other big improvement from when I redid the heater matrix and fan motor last year. Encouraged by Roger on here I paid a lot of attention to re foaming/re sealing all the various joints and gaps and so on between the engine compartment and the interior. I found it a painful process but it has transformed the driving experience - most noise (and occasional smells) now stay outside where they belong.

Thanks, Andrew. It looks like that's the kind of air cleaner I will end up fitting subject to finding one that will sit low enough. Good pointer on the heater seals for future reference too!
