This is proving to be extremely difficult. Despite having a full grid I am at a lost as to what to do as I cannot parse 9,21,30 or 40 across.

gitto,
9 has a word to be eliminated, with single letter for last word of clue
21look at last letters of words in clue
30d has word to be eliminated and old word for first of clue rising ('mounting')
40a has word to be eliminated with parsing going 3, 2, 5, 2
