thanks for the answers guys, but I think I must have messed up some of my answers, more help needed!
15D split(5)
20D bete noire (7)
12D involving great effort (9)
Thanks for the answers guys, am almost there but must have made mistakes with some of ny answers already. I have got unadulterated for 'free, without limits' but this causes me a problem with bete noire as I now have b-----e. I have got gauge for 'device recording fuel consumption' but this would put a 'g' second to last with bete noir. Others problems are, 'moves' t-----l, and 'surprisingly' is 9 letters -t-----l-. Thanks again for the help.
