I used expnding foam in the car between the lpg tank and the car's wheel well for sound proofing.
I did layer the floor with cling film and did the same to the back of the carpet under the tank, so
that I could remove it if needed! The difference was amazing in deadening the sound.

I have seen a MK4 escort that had expanding foam sills. It wouldn't have been my first choice for a structural repair.

Ah! Expanding foam and Gripfill - the craftsman's choice eh? 
The previous owner of my house must have had shares in expanding foam - it's basically held together with it. It's taking me an age to slowly go round and do things properly...... Grrr!

Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

I would never use adhesive to hold a TV to a wall. A six inch mail in each corner is much more secure.

Re: Don't use glue to put your flat screen telly on the wall
To be fair, I believe that early Minis had their sills filled with expanding foam to waterproof them and provide some extra torsional rigidity
Re: Don't use glue to put your flat screen telly on the wall
Indeed they did, but why they used absorbent foam is anyone's guess!
