Hi All!
I feel I probably got the answer to this but I'm always reluctant to write anything in unless I understand the 'why' so can you help me please?
6d Accommodation ahead of India (5)
?O?E?
I am assuming the answer is hotel - accommodation - but I don't get the rest of the clue

Of course it is! Now why didn't I think of that!
Thank you Quisling - you're a genius!

Dog to make splash outside car club with duck (5,4)

It's a dog breed, and I can see the splash, but what's the car club?

The AA, with the O giving the 'duck'?

Thanks malone. I miscounted my As.

It's not quite right though, as the As don't appear together - something missing from the clue?

Thanks, Chris. Aren't the As together, in the middle - with the anagram (to make) around it, outside?

Thanks, ChrisE. I often don't bother parsing answers, so was scared I was the one going astray! (PS And I also have a slight mental block with the spelling, I used to think the first word ended in O.)
