The special instructions state that there are twelve clues which should be changed, but I've completed it and can only find eleven. Has anyone found all twelve?

I made it eight across clues and four down. 16a was the only dodgy one as far as I could see at the time.

I've only got three down clues that fit: 1d, 5d and 17d, so I guess I must have an incorrect answer somewhere! The others all seem to fit and are regular cryptic clues...
I haven't finished this yet, but can suggest 20D as a down answer that is, in my opinion, a definite candidate.
I cannot see how 16A (or 16D for that matter) can be a candidate.
Question Author
Thanks, got it! 16a changes in accordance with 14d, and fits all parts of the clue.
I can confirm that 16ac is one of the twelve.
OK. I can see that 16A is indeed 1 of the 12 now.
What was fooling me is that this appears to be the only one where the changing letter is unchanged in the crossing answer.
Still not finished but just one to get now.
Finished and submitted now - phew - and I now realise that 16A is NOT the only one as described above. Ho hum.
Question Author
lol! Good work on finishing it :)
I have found 11 clues and I think 18ac is the 12th.

18ac:
Pop star's bird retaining her cockney-style live sound (8)

Is the answer St(er)(l)ing which when changed gives starling (bird)?

Many thanks

Spot on! That's what I got, anyway...
