@ aristo, would you confirm I've parsed your clue correctly (I hadn't heard of an L press, cheers google)

Def: Stock part
To be sent back unfinished = liv(e) => vil + L (press) + an anagram of "in a", anagrind "different form".

That's what I intended for the definition and VIL part, but for the rest:
Chambers: LIE: to press, past participle LAIN (to press in a different form)
Yours is probably better. Thanks for asking, ginge.
