Nearly done. Phew!
C Far out - for certain, adrift (7) I have ci-u-e- thought it might be Citroen but have u from lotus.
F All the stops pulled out, getting drunk with music maker (4,5). I have fr-l/-r-a- Looks like something organ.
V Very wrong about pop group (5). I have -e-o- Looks like venom as in venom GT world's fastest car.

May have something entered incorrectly but can't see where. Help with parsing would be appreciated from my fellow conspirators. Gracias.

C - definitely Citroen
V - Velox, car. V =Very, ELO, pop group and X, wrong.

[Toorak]

Citroen anagram of for certain minus far
Full organ
Velox

[Neveracrossword]

Lotus and Citroen are quite far apart in the completed grid.
Citroen is an anagram - take 'far' out of 'for certain'.

Brilliant. Thank you neveracrossword & toorak. I can see you have both been quite busy with this one.
I had probably got a bit excited towards the end and had transposed 'zorro' & 'lotus'. Bit sad really!

[Neveracrossword]

Glad I could help. I had more trouble fitting in the five-letter words than the longer ones!

[Resolute]

Citroen is right. Lotus is in the wrong place.

[Neveracrossword]

^ ^ Resolute, I think you may have missed the earlier responses.

[Resolute]

Full Organ will let things fall into place. And Velox is the car you need.

All present and correct ...... thanks.
