Instrument to do remote wrong (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odometer

'instrument' is the definition.
(odometer is a kind of instrument)

'do remote wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'do'+'remote'='doremote'
'doremote' with letters rearranged gives 'ODOMETER'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for odometer that I've seen before include "Distance-measuring instrument in vehicle" , "Car-mileage measurer" , "Mileometer" , "Measurer of distance travelled in car" , "Travel measure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
