6 ac : Advert seen around Spain for refrigerated transport R-E--- (6)

8. Dn : With head of Ford away, not so many in a jug --E- (4)

Any ideas for these last 2 of what was otherwise a v straightforward puzzle?

Also is 16 ac set off or tee off ?

...although it is my knowledge that was lacking rather than the clue. i'd never heard of reefer as a refrigerated thingy and advert=refer seemed a bit tenuous to me but...

I'll e-mail you so we don't hijack this.
