Couch I'd put up on the vehicle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divan

'couch' is the definition.
(I know that divan is a type of couch)

'i'd put up on the vehicle' is the wordplay.
'put up' is a reversal indicator.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the vehicle' becomes 'van' (van is a kind of vehicle).
'id' backwards is 'di'.
'di'+'van'='DIVAN'

(Other definitions for divan that I've seen before include "Sideless, backless couch" , "Backless seat; bed" , "Viand (anag.)" , "Piece of furniture" , "Couch - bed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
