Good day, “making a run for it” this week, I’m stuck and am seeking answers/hints for the following. Thanks in advance!
ACROSS:
17 Tests principles initially found wanting (5) : O??D?
22 Horse in rain gets incitement (4) : ?AD?
23 Amerindians holding figure back in tropical flora (7 : ????REE
25 Queen Mary University, in the beginning (6) ST?TD?
26 Flier the night before conflict (6) : ????A?
35 They scatter strong jugs (8) : ?T?E?F??
DOWN:

30 Design part of hospital, it’s suggested? (6, 2w) : ??A???
34 Group of fish to wander over America (5) : ?A???

Do you want answers or hints? Including the latter is often a waste if you've mentioned answers!

You have mistakes in 17, 25 and 35.

35 str ewers

A mistake also in 22.

[JJ109]

25 Royal House (the 2nd t&d are wrong)

[JJ109]

17 Spoken exams (the D is wrong)

[bookbinder]

8d furry

[novalis]

26 - usual word for 'night before' + 3 letter word for conflict/clash

[JJ109]

23 first and last 3 letters are an Amerindian tribe - letters 234 are a three digit number reversed

There, Matakari, a good chunk will be done now!
There seems to be no mention of the error, lack of shading, on last week's puzzle.

30 is the sort of clue where a part of the answer suggests how the other part is entered - the final word is UP (the first word is part of a hospital turned UP).

[ProfessorMaisie]

34 is a fish genus - 3 letters for 'wander' +US.

[Matakari]

Many thanks, all!

Glad we could help, Matakari - though I'm looking forward to you making us all redundant (one day...)
