I've not finished, but I think you need to change your spelling of 21 Down as this'll help with 25 Across!

29a I think if you subtract 'turin ideal' from 'industrial area' you are left with saar.

Can anyone please explain the wordplay in 31 across?

Recorder showing times formerly out of joint? (6)

I think it's CAMERA, but not sure why....

I'm sure 31ac is cam + era. Cam is an alternative of kam, meaning awry, or out of joint.
