Immobilised by this, calming help we arranged (5-8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheel-clamping

'immobilised by this' is the definition.
(wheel-clamping can immobilise a car)

'calming help we arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'calming'+'help'+'we'='calminghelpwe'
'calminghelpwe' anagrammed gives 'WHEEL-CLAMPING'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
