Chauffeur ignoring volume for this appliance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drier

'this appliance' is the definition.
(drier is a kind of appliance)

'chauffeur ignoring volume' is the wordplay.
'chauffeur' becomes 'driver' (I've seen this before).
'ignoring' is a deletion indicator.
'volume' becomes 'v'.
'driver' with 'v' removed is 'DRIER'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for drier that I've seen before include "More dull" , "Flatter" , "Less wet" , "affected by sunnier climate" , "Machine giving spin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
