Bluster and rage on car breaking down (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrogance

'bluster' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rage on car breaking down' is the wordplay.
'breaking down' indicates an anagram.
'rage'+'on'+'car'='rageoncar'
'rageoncar' is an anagram of 'ARROGANCE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for arrogance that I've seen before include "Excessive self-importance" , "Hauteur" , "Overbearing attitude of pride and insolence" , "High-handed attitude" , "Overweening self-importance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
