Examined again using refurbished lie detectors, having removed coil (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retested

'examined again' is the definition.
('tested' is an answer for 'examined' so perhaps 'retested' is OK for 'examined again')

'refurbished lie detectors having removed coil' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' indicates anagramming the letters.
'having removed' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'lie'+'detectors'='liedetectors'
'liedetectors' with 'coil' taken out is 'edetetrs'.
'edetetrs' is an anagram of 'RETESTED'.

'using' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
