0pt0. It parses 3,2, and there’s an extra word. Read the Chambers definition carefully

A fairly quick grid fill but now fruitless grid staring. I am reasonably sure I have eight of the extra words. Can somebody tell me if there is one in 17?

No, planks. The list in #17 has two incorrect, subsequently identified. The other two clues sum to 35

Thanks dodgepot. Maybe a bit of therapeutic gardening will help with the PDM that has so far eluded me.

Norah, please can you remove/erase my post containing my weakly disguised email address, as earlier requested in my msg #8. Thanks.

Writing the nine extra words in a list in the required capitals may be worthwhile.

The correct permutation described in the preamble may well leap out.

If you make sense of any of the three instructions in the preamble, you'll be well-placed to work out the others.

But I did need an overnight break to get there.

… and thanks to the setter for the title.

Subtle enough not to be a giveaway for the solve, but a useful checksum once done.

The gardening worked, the PDM hit me as soon as I took another look. A bit of Googling and I'm all done. Lovely puzzle, great endgame.
