Worn-out fan belt bodged together with tie (4-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flea-bitten

'worn' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for flea-bitten that I've seen before include "Tatty - infested with parasites" , "Shabby - run-down" , "Dilapidated, shabby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
