Not making much headway with this at all.
Clues contain an extra or missing letter in the wordplay OR a misprint in the defn. Then some answers have to be altered before entry in grid.....so crossers and even grid length may not be of much help...

13d Down to earth - anag '(t)ooth wanted + r' (no end of '[cemen]t') (?)
