Complain faulty air intakes letting in sulphur (5,1,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raise a stink

'complain' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'faulty air intakes letting in sulphur' is the wordplay.
'faulty' is an anagram indicator.
'letting in' indicates putting letters inside.
'sulphur' becomes 'S' (synonyms).
'air'+'intakes'='airintakes'
'airintakes' with letters rearranged gives 'raieastink'.
'raieastink' going around 's' is 'RAISE A STINK'.
