Question Anyone any good at cryptic quizes?

We've got one here, all answers are bird names.

Two examples first:
Grunter and a long time = Pig eon
So back on your knees in church = Os prey

Now the three we can't get:
Should it go in the car =

Divide escarpment =

James Bond film =

We think the last one might be "Goldfinch", but if so, it's not up to the standard of the other clues:

Anyone help? Thanks.

Goldeneye isn't a bird though, is it?

Wouldn't it be Golden Eagle?

But if that was the answer surely the clue should be:

Pub in Bond Street

Ooh, ok, didn't realise, sorry. Just doesn't seem to follow the pattern of the other clues. Perhaps whoever made them up started to get bored.
