I've got answers that I assume are correct for 7 and 15, but I can't parse them! For 15, I just have a phrase that means a few more. I don't know where 'hours' fits in.
Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Malone, def for 15 is "a few". Wordplay is an anagram of mOrE hOuRs and WONT. 7 is "bungle...owe"

Thank you for your earlier help Malone. I now have all the answers and just have to find the redaction which appears in the grid and a further one. They will give the adjustment needed for three down answers and the one which gives the instruction for the changes from 8 to 4 letters in two of the across clues. I know what needs removing from those two - typical of the compiler that his name appears somewhere - so I will have another look before preparing for three days of meetings this week. Again any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the parsing, Crucifer. I don't always bother, especially when it's someone like Ifor!

Thanks crucifer.
I did figure out 15a answer but was not sure of parsing.

Alwayspuzzled, six of the letters, from the redactions, were given earlier - so that might help you. I got my last phrase, the one in the grid, from some staring, just treating it as a word search.

I've come to this thread late (as usual lol) and have finished the grid and the redacted title. Frustratingly, I can't parse 3 answers (not that I suppose it really matters...) - 8d, 28d and 37d. Any help gratefully received and willingly given.
