43d writers account about a frogman heading for the surface? G---/A---L
55a. Mark nicks muscle vehicle from station (5,3)
-----/-a-
37a (8) s---o-e- I think its sea dogged but can't parse it
Any help is greatly appreciated

Sorry I got predictive text disease I think 37a should be seasoned :)

55 SQUAD CAR
SCAR around QUAD (quadriceps)

43d GORE VIDAL ( across clue is christmas EVE)
37a shadowed

46. ac. Face headless man drinking port (8). Have
E?T?R?O? which looks like 'exterior' if 'face' is the definition part of the clue, but cannot see the wordplay.

Dexter - man, without head drinking Rio - port= exterior?

Obviously right, but not fair - why should DEXTER = MAN?

Thanks ab and chrise. While I'm at it, is 25 ac. Andorra? Clue: Country with men heading for rural area (7) A?D?R?A

Yes it is ANDORRA

AND = with
OR = men
RA = (r)ural (a)rea

Best wishes

Thanks Dandelion. OR = 'other ranks' is valid for 'men'. To be remembered for future.
