ah worn out vehicle = CROCK losing K (king's head) - good one FF
f LAME r
Never heard of that term before either - you're working well FF ;)
Nor me- inflamer would seem more appropriate. I haven't looked it up but the wordplay works perfectly

Brilliant - thanks. We thought 15a was flamer but I'm still not sure why. Where is the troll link?
Just read FF's link - the definition sums up a computer Troll
Was to 'flame' once a word used to describe activities of trolls on the internet?
The parsing is

France = FR
Unconvincing = LAME

A Flamer is someone who makes a nuisance of themselves on the Net ie a Troll

Blimey - that's obscure! Thanks everyone for your responses.
