Red Dust

No mate. It wont hurt anything.

Cheers

check owner records to see if it is an ex-mine vehicle if so, probably flogged, under serviced, mineral rust tearing it apart where you can't see and generally a 50/50 if it lasts buy. If not, probably a bargain. What year? Turn the back seat down and if 1998 - 2004 there should be a two black rubber plugs at both corners, lift up, under should identify where it's been it's life unless the owner had stuck a dyson down there.

Take a rear tail light out and look in the cavity and you can tell if its travelled on bulldust . Also to check for sand check a front blinker assembly by looking at the bulb for rust on it and insiide the assembly for sand .

Thanks for the reply all, its a 2002, 85,000K on clock.The origninal owner purchased it in sydney.. The paint is good and still white.
I can see some red dust in the head lights and a bit under the chassis and on the ladder rack bit on the front. I though it was rust at first then the dealer told me it had been driven from Sydney up to Qld, out west and up to the territory and back.
It Has all the service records etc. I rubbed the bit on the ladder rack and it turned my finger red.
It is nice to drive and very smooth.
I have signed for the vehicle and pick it up Monday. They will detail it but said they cannot guarantee all the red dust would come off.

I was just concerned about the dust causing any long term damage.
Ie Rust.
thanks again all :-)
