Hi puzzlers
I wonder if anyone can help me with a few clues on this one?
2d - flee after court-hearing - I have ??i?l ???
27d - tourist goes to fortune teller after having vision - I have ?????s?e?
31 down - let us work out inside - Fred is hot and bothered - I have ?l?s?e?n? - probably obvious but my brain is on strike today!
1a - noisily shake back part of old car - only got first letter R
any help would be gratefully accepted! Thanks.

Hi Verso,

27D. Tourist = Sightseer
fortune teller = seer
vision = sight
'seer' after 'sight'

31D. Hot and bothered = Flustered
'let us' + 'Fred' is an anagram of 'flustered'

1A. Old car = Rattletrap
noisily shake = rattle
back part = trap ('part' in reverse)

2D. Demonstration = Trial Run
flee = run
court hearing = trial
'run' after 'trial'

48A. Paraffin = Kerosene
'Rose keen' is an anagram of 'kerosene'

Hope this helps Verso, post again if you get stuck.
Regards, Butterfly Very Happy
