Next little job is to clean the MAF sensor. Also going to look at the MAP filter-will clean or replace depending on its condition. I can’t seem to find a definitive answer as to whether the MAP sensor itself should be cleaned?

There’s a lot of things to love about this vehicle but the cup holder isn’t one of them. Neither of my thermal mugs fit securely. What are folks’ solutions to this? Aftermarket ‘adapter/extender’?

I can’t locate any ‘high rise’ plastic ramps anywhere. Any recommendations fellas?

Cheers. Found one on ebay for £35

Rather embarrassingly, I’ve just discovered I have no jack in my recently acquired 150! I believe it should have a bottle jack located in the passenger side cubby hole in the boot area? Any recommendations for an alternative or should I source an original of ebay or similar?

Any members on here? As someone interested in doing some basic off-roading/green lane driving is it worth joining?

They’re original but to correct my original post the size is 245/70/17. I’ve been assured that 265/65/17 will be fine…….I hope so because I’ve just ordered a set of Yokohama Geolander AT GO15. Black Circle had 15% off flash sale!
