Pile into the jalopy! (4)

I believe the answer is:

heap

I believe this is a double definition.

'pile' is the first definition.
(I know that pile can be written as heap)

'the jalopy' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'into' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for heap that I've seen before include "Rough pile" , "car on its last legs" , "Amass" , "Mound, pile" , "Pile (of scrap?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
