[Neveracrossword]

18 Anagram of Linesman with the usual Ordinary.

32 - Cobblers indicates a word for rubbish, nonsense + add a common two-letter word for Like, akin...

28 You have mistakes there.

[bobbinwales]

turin

[bobbinwales]

Forget turin- was thinking of 1 turn but that ignores the copper

14 One cycling = anagram it, after s standard two-letter 'copper'.

[Boethius]

26(A) Pinter is the Nobelist...
Any suggestions, please, for 25(A) and 31 (D).

[Matakari]

26a looks like "Interact", but cannot parse it. Any help? Thanks!

[novalis]

31 down - A three letter non-British tree between A for American and E for European. The result is the alternative name for the white poplar.

[Neveracrossword]

26 Pinter, theatric Nobelist, drop the P, music term for 'quiet'. Act = Do. Interact = pause.

[novalis]

25 across - Usual abbreviation for our current monarch + a word for outdoor entrances gives a word for a worker ant (sometimes seen without S at the end)

There, looks like we've done just about the whole puzzle now! What a helpful site this is.
