No need to get all the stickiness off, just any lumps of foam so the surface is smooth. At the summer camp my partner was in Marty's workshop taking the old stuff off with a wire brush. Made a hell of a mess and she ended up with one inch sticky foam platforms on her trainers. Then she walked out of the workshop and the gravel stuck to the soles of her shoes.......
One word, Martrim......

Amazing that Land Rover charge £1500 for a GEMS MAF.
Nah, not that much, only £1137.55 including the VAT (https://www.lrdirect.com/ERR5595-Air-Flow-Meter/) or a mere £897.49 if you are prepared to part ex your duff one (https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-ERR5595). must admit there's not a lot in it for that money though (and, fortunately, pattern ones work adequately well in a GEMS unlike a Thor that insist on having genuine Bosch).
I would assume there's two ways of doing it. Either just connect to the dangling connector meaning you probably won't have anything connected to Pin 2 of the white socket so it won't charge a caravan battery, or connect the extra bit under the bonnet so it has the ability to charge a caravan battery while the engine is running. The GEMS diagram shows a couple of spare ways on the pink plug, one of which is fed with permanent power from fuse 35, however, as you say, the Thor diagram is different. However, there is a permanent live output shown as spare on pin 3 of C0570 (the grey plug) fed from Fuse 29, although the face view of that connector shows it to have a Red/Black wire in it which the diagram shows as going nowhere.....
Just deleted your duplicate post (in case you wonder where it went). When mine came free after having the windows open the car filled with sticky orange bits of foam.....
We did a mass headlining replacement session at one of the Summer Camps at Marty's workshop. See https://rangerovers.pub/topic/663-summer-camp-2017-head-lining-photos

Have you got a voltage on the bits that stick into the airflow?
This is getting very confusing with the same conversation going on here and on the dark side......
Marty, any chance of having a DSP amp replacement-a-thon now? The 2001 Vogue that used to belong to OldShep and has been rescued by me and a mate has the DSP system with just the sub working. It did work intermittently but now not at all, or at least not in the 40 minutes it took me to drive it over to my mates place anyway.
I used to carry a can of gloop with the pump (as well as the spare) but, after using it on a trailer tyre, didn't bother to replace it. On the two occasions I've needed to use the spare the tyre was in such a state that the can of gloop wouldn't have done anything anyway. I'd rather have to change a wheel than wait hours for a foreign speaking breakdown man only to have him tell me he can't do anything as he can't find a local tyre supplier with one in the correct size in stock. Once I had to buy a tyre for a trailer when in France and could only find one place with the correct one in stock and at a price that was at least twice what it would have cost me here.
I would put money on one having given up long ago and the extra weight caused the other to let go recently.
I've got two runs to do in the next 5 weeks, the first a 4,000 mile round trip, the second a mere 1,800 miles. Like I say, there's no point in standing next to it at the side of the road thinking, "bugger, if only I hadn't left xxxxxx in the garage, I could fix this in minutes".
I have once stood the spare upright on one side when I needed all of the boot (and back seat) space. By leaving the stuff that lives inside the wheel in it against the side, I gained more space but I wouldn't want to leave it there all the time as it is taller than the boot meaning the cover can't be put on. But is was fairly full......
That was with the rear seats and rear footwells filled up too.
Probably not what you want to see but I've always found if you make a box for things, you don't manage to fit everything in or don't manage to fill it fully. Like you, I've got a wheel well full of gas tank so the spare sits in the boot, hollow side up so it can be filled with a blanket, rolls of tape, jump leads, gasket goo, spare bulbs, spare CPS, length of climbing rope, steel binding wire, electrical wire, tyre pump, magnetic amber beacon, weatherproof jacket, big torch and other assorted bits (including a spare starter motor and alternator when I do my cross Europe runs). Down the side of it is 4 litre container of oil, bottle of ATF, 10 litres of water, squirty bottle full of washing up liquid and water, and a couple of small ratchet straps. All held in place by a 3 tonne trolley jack with small magnetic LED torch stuck to it.
On the left side there's toolbox, fire extinguisher, wheelbrace and an additional power socket run from the connector intended for the extra power socket if you have dual trailer electrics.
Then in the space that once had the OE jack and wheelbrace, there's warning triangle, tow rope, set of Schrader valve adapters for the EAS, set of ignition coils and assorted lengths of coolant hose in different sizes with Jubilee clips.
Then under the rear seat there's an old Panasonic Toughbook laptop with RAVE, EASUnlock and LPG software loaded on it and in the front seat back pockets the Nanocom, cable for EASUnlock, and a bag of spare fuses. Under the from passenger seat there's a 300W inverter that can be plugged into an additional power socket under the back of the centre console.
As my car never had the CD changer, sub or sat nav taking up boot space, I've got the full width of the boot available. Plod had an axillary battery on the RHS (cables to the front are still there) where I now keep my bottles of liquids and the toolbox fits nicely in the space where the sub would be if I had one. Toolbox contains just about everything I need about the only things that stay in the garage rather than travelling with me everywhere are specialist stuff like the big torque wrench, axle stands and angle grinder. In fact, if the torque wrench was in the car I'd have everything I needed to change head gaskets at the side of the road if I needed to.
I appreciate not everyone carries their entire workshop around with them all the time but I'd far rather be in the position to be able to fix something at the side of the road when I'm 2,000 miles away from home. My view is there's no point in having something you might need only for it to have been left behind.
You are likely to have the door amps which you will see with the door panel off (fag packet sized box mounted lower down the door next to the bass speaker). That is supplied with power from the door outstations (the other box mounted at the top of the door). Door outstations get their power from Fuse 9 in the BeCM fuse panel. This feed doesn't go through the connector behind the kick panel but through one higher up at the end of the rubber tube between door and A post, however, as you say, a problem there would only affect one side not both.
Bollox, it's dodgy microswitches. People that know nothing will blame the BeCM for everything from the neighbour's cat dying onwards. Marty does refurbed latches http://p38webshop.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=60 which are a lot cheaper than brand new.
There's 3 microswitches as a block but with locating pins that don't match the normal microswitch mounting holes so not easy to replace. Marty has sussed it and does refurbed latches with new Cherry microswitches. I've done it once but it's a real PITA.
The first time I had a failing microswitch it would only do it when it was hot weather. Probably something to do with thermal expansion and there's been quite a bit of heat about over the last couple of days.
Ahh, you got here.
Find a tablet that will fit in the space, you can then run Google Maps or Waze by tethering it to your phone.
