Well....

I have a full grid apart from 30a, which I can make neither head nor tail of and nothing in chambers seems to fit.

I have the full message but carrying out the first three words seems to be possible in a number of ways and it's not clear to me which I should use.

I have the five words for the new clue but cant make head or tail of that either.

Am already approaching more time on the last four clues plus endgame than on the first thirty six.

Getting slightly frustrated. Will watch some cricket for a while and hope inspiration strikes...

30a is hyphenated

Not my fave sort of puzzle but seems fairly clear if you know what the final step is. Struggling to parse 36a

s.harry - I'm in exactly the same place, although I think I know what to do with the first 3 words. Just can't see how to solve the 5-word clue and it is indeed frustrating!

Rickye - 36A is a proper name, parsed 3+3

Eventually I have a full grid but that is about all I have. If the sum of the clue numbers for the 3,7,4,3,4 clue is 117, I haven't a scooby what that means. As for the other clues, my only outstanding issue is parsing 4d. I think the some of the definitions (eg 28d) are bordering on unfair.

Gitto, name of old king. Word for Athens area with the fifth letter halved. Extra word to be removed.

I make it 117 as well Gitto, but as I still can't make head or tail of the extra clue, I could be wrong
