Decided it could benefit from a bit of an internal clean, as it was showing its 207k miles..

First up, I marvelled at the headroom available with the tailgate up. This pic was taken with the phone on top of my head.



It makes a nice, dry shelter - most impressed.

I started cleaning at the back first.



The hoover was deployed, then some scrubbing wipes to clean the plastics and trim.

I also cleaned the inside of the windows.

Then my attention was turned to the roof storage space.



This got a scrub and was much improved - you can see the central storage doors are pretty mangled - I can hunt a set down at some point.



It also provides quite a lot of storage..



Next up was tackling the "map of Africa" on the passenger seat..

Before applying the skoosh and agitating



After agitation and sponging off.



The other seats were then done

Last up was to do the door cards/dash/windows and steering wheel.



This was the first pass on the wheel. It feels much nicer now!

I also spotted a piece of design that annoys me. Why couldn't they just make the binnacle meet the centre of the dash?
