Sandpit in the air box

[TrollinAround]

So last week I brought my “new” 2000 TD42 gu and have been slowly going about making her my own. Anyway, yesterday I thought I’d just check the air filter to see if that had been replaced by the dealer when they did the service before I picked it up....... ahh nope! There was enough shit and sand in there to start a sandpit for the kids! On both sides of the filter too ��
Unbelievable! This car looks to have been meticulously looked after. I mean it’s in better condition than my 2013 SR5 I traded in for her. The engine bay and underbody are in showroom condition(that won’t last ��)
I’ve since vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned the air box out and replaced the filter and my god does she breathe well now. ������ it’s like driving a new car. (It drove bloody well in the first place)
I guess I’m wondering is there anything I should get checked or look out for as far as what may have been sucked up through the turbo?
I’m spewing I didn’t check the filter before I brought it as I would have been able to talk them down another grand or two.... actually I probably wouldn’t of brought it!
Here’s hoping I caught it before it was to late but if anyone has any advice I’m all ears.
