Thank you for this imagcq.

1) Naturally, appeal lacks words of wisdom (2 4 7 6) IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING?
Appeal- it + lacks- goes without + words of wisdom – saying, giving “it goes without saying” – naturally?

2) Snub fruity desserts? (6-4/5) UPSIDE DOWN CAKES?
Upside down cakes are fruity desserts and are “snubbed” in that they are “turned down”?

3) Note concealed in feature in itself straight forward (2/8) NO NONSENSE?
Note – N concealed in feature – Nose gives Nonse. If this is then concealed in itself it gives No Nonse nse- straightforward?

4) Limo and cabs crashed in good weather on reversing. What'll be lost? (2/6/5)- NO CLAIMS BONUS?
Anagram of Limo cabs and on gives No claims bo + sun (good weather) reversed = no claims bonus- what would be lost in a crash?

This gives IGUSNENS giving GUINNESS?

AB's Parse pretty much the same as mine so a couple changes and

1) Naturally, appeal lacks words of wisdom (2 4 7 6) IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING?
Appeal- it + lacks- goes without + words of wisdom – saying, giving “it goes without saying” – naturally?

2) Snub fruity desserts? (6-4/5) UPSIDE DOWN CAKES?
Upside down cakes are fruity desserts and are “snubbed” in that they are “turned down”? (AND also it's BUNS backwards indicating a reversal.

3) Note concealed in feature in itself straight forward (2/8) NO NONSENSE?
Note – N concealed in feature – Nose gives Nonse. This is then concealed in itself it gives No Nonse nse- straightforward?

4) Limo and cabs crashed in good weather on reversing. What'll be lost? (2/6/5)- NO CLAIMS BONUS?
Anagram of Limo + cabs / In good weather SUN + ON reversing.
