I'd turned up with vehicle for piece of furniture (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divan

'piece of furniture' is the definition.
(divan is a kind of piece of furniture)

'i'd turned up with vehicle' is the wordplay.
'turned up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'vehicle' becomes 'van' (van is a kind of vehicle).
'id' in reverse letter order is 'di'.
'di'+'van'='DIVAN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for divan that I've seen before include "Backless seat; bed" , "Sort of bed" , "Sofa - bed" , "Sideless, backless couch" , "resting place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
