Dad abhors fixing part of car (9)
I believe the answer is:
dashboard
'part of car' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dad abhors' is the wordplay.
'dad abhors' anagrams to 'DASHBOARD'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
'fixing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dashboard that I've seen before include "Vehicle's instrument panel" , "What has controls in place" , "part of car" , "control panel" , "Part of estate, maybe" .)
