Finished 1166 - which was relatively enjoyable.
Still stuck on 1165 - gone awry somewhere but can't see it.
Had a good EV run over the last few months, except for this one and the Fibonacci one.
Gentle hints would be appreciated on any of the following:
14a Explosive expiration according to a li(st)en in dispute (7, two words) STIS?U?
24a Penitent (st)ate endless gruel in suffering (6) B?E??G
20a Core od (st)illness within throat, a little bit like tongue (7) L?N?AN?
15d Anti-tank howitzer's first one stopping expensive spiky missile (9, two words) ?E??ES?I?
23d Drinking most of (st)raw juice, beat Roman emperor

14a your 1st S is wrong
24a B is wrong
20a the A and 2nd N are wrong
15d only the 1st E is correct

I think you maybe have the wrong themed answers for 1d 8d?? (1d .... manic ...) (8d baker.....think sherlock for the grid entry)

Thanks Sudokulover - I recall you also gave me significant guidance on the Fibonaaci one

What a car crash! - I'll summon the energy to have another go

Thanks again
