Thread: Cab cracks

I was chatting to Fred Smith a couple of years back and he said it had been a very common thing for some production runs. Eventually LR started to laminate the firewall at that point. He said he had fixed a few, but he charged a very significant amount and referred to it as being a very unpleasant job but in not so many words.

In the first model Discos it involved a huge amount of dismantling to gain access from the inside. His solution was to braze a new plate on with multiple holes drilled in it and then plugged with filler rod. Contamination was an issue because of all the anti-corrosion agent that gets sprayed on at the factory.

Not what you wanted to hear, but take comfort in the fact that many, many Discos have the same issue and it's never that much of a problem.
