Checking for rust

• check jacking points for rust by inserting the jack and using this as a lever to check for any movement.
• behind the rear bumper, which can allow water to get into the 3 box sections around the petrol tank, fronts of sills which can lead to rust inside once moisture holding mud gets in there.
• the tops of guards above the headlight
• under the doors at the frames.
• from the clips that hold the side trims on and also under the trim at the base of the rear roof pillar.

A fridge magnet (the thin flat ones often used for advertising) is really good for detecting the depth of bog and holes.
