After Jack, Sid turns up in the Doctor's vehicle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tardis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the doctor's vehicle' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'after jack sid turns up' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'jack' becomes 'tar' (I've seen this before).
'turns up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'sid' back-to-front is 'dis'.
'tar' put next to 'dis' is 'TARDIS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tardis that I've seen before include "Doctor Who's time machine" , "Dr Who's time machine" , "Doctor Who's transport" , "Doctor Who's ship" , "Famous time machine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
