I've been hearing rumours recently of Discos with cracks appearing in their firewalls (bulkheads?) above the chassis body mounts on both sides of the firewall.

Apparently it is only appearing on pre-96 models but it may also be that they are too new for the problem to have appeared - yet. Perhaps Rover fixed the problem?

Is it true?
Is it occurring in countries other than Australia? Is the problem exacerbated by corrugated roads (pretty common in Australia).

Any comments from others on the list?
