North west corner awkward.
7d Extreme exchanges make someone like Dior quit(8) I have **S*G*ER I am pretty sure it is designer but cannot gloss it other than that was what Dior was. Could it be resigned to fit in with quit in the clue? Designed? Designed? The more I look the worse it gets.
8d The old Duke's s fallen off Wendy's family horse(8) **A*L*N* I thought of Wendy Darling but got no further with that line.Charlene fits and she is a character on the Andy Griffith show. Charlene Darling. So......the final one is 5a Ridged end of track where surfers go in New York *N****. Final letter of this is the first in 8d.
Help. I want to go to bed!

7d Resigner? someone who quits?
sorry didn't read your comments for 7d all the way through
Question Author
Sorry. In my list of possibilities I meant to include that. I see I entered designed twice. I am still no closer.
Question Author
Are the de letters at each end of the word the exchange referred to in the clue? I'm not sure.
8d may be yearling but looking to parse
Ye .. old replacing d .. duke in darling
Question Author
Well yes. Yearling is a horse but I guess we need a tad more.
As it's the TLS, I'm wondering if Dior refers to Tolkien's middle earth?

In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth legendarium:

Dior Eluchíl, a Half-elven of the First Age
Dior (Steward), a Steward of Gondor
Question Author
Bless you! One down and two to go but another letter now.
The old - ye, then remove D from Darling
Sorry, way too late
Question Author
The Tolkien thread is one I certainly hadn't got but how do we take it on?
8d Says Duke's fallen of Darling - leaving Arling with Ye
8d Yearling

5a Knurly
Question Author
Very happy with yearling. It's the other two that are a pain in the derriere.
Oh, too late.
I've just spent 20 minutes looking to parse a 7 letter answer for 5d!!! If only I could count. ;)))
Question Author
Knurly gives an R for the first letter of the Dior clue but can you explain knurly to a tired soul please.
5a (trac) K + URL , web address, internet surfers inside NY
To knurl metal you create tiny ridges in it

Resigned = quit

Designer with first and last letters swapped
