Woodlouse, the last three letters of the answer to 18dn do not represent a plant. They are indicated by something else. Think an unusual plural.

I have about 6 grid entries remaining.
Haven't thought of the cipher yet.

Help with:
22 Fiddled with an arresting power (6)

24 Start off imbibing Cambodia wine (4)

Thanks.

24. 'Wine' is the definition. It's the abbreviation for Cambodia (which used to catch me out) inside a word for 'start off'.

Thanks malone.
I was thinking of CM for Cambodia.
I did think of that wine. But the one letter abbrev. for CM is new to me.

Got about 3/4 filled. Struggling with cypher. Please can someone help. Stuck on 23a, 30a, 36 a. Thanks.

Fgsltw, for 23... a six-letter word for 'feasible' would be an eight-letter word for 'corruptible' if you put 'it' inside.

36. Just an anagram, the result being a Northern word, expression.

PS It's always good to give the clues as those without a copy could help, try to help.

23. Corruptible is 8 letter word begins with V.

30a. Think of the big clock in London.

36a. Rest iis the def.It is an anagram. Look it up in TCD.

In attempting to solve the code, I've been trying to match

PORGIE with MEDALS (35Ac)
MODEMS with PYROPE (15Ac)

Is this the way to go?

Turast, the short answer is yes.

Sorry if this is a spolier. I have Wingers at 22d; it seems Buy must be encoded?
