Last two I'd appreciate some help with:

29d cover behind wheels (4)
TAR?
Think TARP but not sure why!

32a Northern banks are endlessly in recession (4)
ASA?

Think ASAR but not sure why!

Could well be.
Not sure where the first "a" comes from, though.

ASAR = A (abbreviation for 'are', as in the land measure) + RAS(h) reversed
