Thanks for your help. I now have 8 down, but that means my answer for 18ac is wrong. Can't work out where the error is. Also haven't got the composer but suspect there is another mistake in there too unless somebody very obscure. This corner is proving extremely challenging.

18a is anagram of honda

It begins with d.

Anything else that would be helpful?

Thanks. That's what I had. I must be really stupid but how does the A fit with 8d?

It is affear entered

Afear (f on perimeter)

Of course. It's a homonym!! Thanks for all your help.

Problem was all down to not realising 10d was a homonym. Thought it was that compose but wouldn't fit. Finally finished.

I'm struggling with the answer for the down clue commencing 'Watch Australian' (quite possibly because I am in error with what I think is the homophone for the across entry for the clue which has 'rent' in it - sorry, don't have the grid in front of me - and crosses that light) ?

Rent answer is tahr (which sounds like tear)

34d isn't an anagram and gives SHEIK/SHAKE as there is no requirement for pairs of homophones to have different letter counts either in clues (eg POLL/POLE) or answers (eg LESSON/LESSEN), or indeed in the title (WRITE/RIGHT).

Hi Cruciverbalist

I noticed my error re letter count when I wrote my copy out to post with lessen/lesson.

At least I had the right answers!
I enjoyed this one- best for a few weeks I thought
