Looks like it IS banger. An old banger = an old crate = an old car. & case = crate (packing.

OOps! Meant "CRATE" is OK

Big Dave has it, so I'd suspect your 'r'. It's in Chambers

Must have 4d wrong. Clue is "17 later: a crowd?" 17 is "Glamis" and I have COWARD for 4d (anagram of a crowd) because Lady Macbeth called Glamis a coward to rouse him into committing murder of Duncan.

Penny's just dropped! Glamis - thane of CAWDOR - was on the right road but caught the wrong bus! Apologies Big Dave and thanks to both.

Wee stinker. 10A wash face====t-p? Seems crazy but cant see answer. Help.
