Bolt from exhaust? (3,3,2)
I believe the answer is:
run out of
'exhaust?' is the definition.
('run out of' can be a synonym of 'exhaust')
'bolt from' is the wordplay.
'bolt' becomes 'runout' ('run out' can be a synonym of 'bolt').
'from' becomes 'of' (I've seen this in other clues).
'runout'+'of'='RUN OUT OF'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
