The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
"Spanner" is your definition there — a cross-beam is literally a beam that spans across something, like a tool that spans a bolt. For the wordplay: "Ford" gives you CROSS, since to ford a river is to cross it. Then BMW is slangily a BEAMER, and you need to strip out the E (English) and R (right), leaving you with BEAM — stick them together and you're there.
