I have solved the puzzle but do not get the word play for these two clues.

36. First-born died in old coach, as is typical of fiction. (9)
?E?GN?DL?

There is only one word that fits and means insincere or false.

7D. Mountainous region in the Alps?Wrong - could be this, this (5)

Second "this" is in italics.

The answer seems to be a country next to India.

Can someone explain the word plays?

Thank you in advance.

first born = EIGNE, + Died in FLY (coach)
Feignedly - 'eigne' (first-born) + d(ied) (in) 'fly' (coach)

Nepal - anag '(i)n (th)e Alp(s)' (lose 'this')

Thank you both.

Should have looked up first-born and thought a little more about the second this.
7D without the answer I guess that a anagram of the letters of your answer and t h i s form the definition as in the first five words of the clue.
