Can anyone help with my last 2 please?

28a: team horse having altered diet, money then put on it (8,6).
I have ?O?????W ?N?T?D
Looks like the second word could be UNITED and maybe the first words beings with SOU (for money)

20d: knickers! what if there were a hole in them (4,2)
I have ?A?N??

Also, is 14d AUTOMOBILE? It seems to be the only word which will fit, but I can't see how to get that from the clue, apart from "vehicle".

Thanks for the quick replies. I had SCOW for 24d. S for second and COW for "lower" (an animal that lows!). That's why I had a W at the end of the first word of 28a, which threw me completely! I realise it should be SCUD.
