My grid is complete apart from this clue and there are a few parsings I don't understand if some kind person couldl enlighten me please:
17d Ancient tales of late more popularly preceded by their contents (5) The answer would seem to be SAGAS (aga sagas satisfying the last bit of the clue) but I have "N" where the 1st "S" of sagas would go from ANSELM (clue was Saint Mark's inaugural gift heading off to the west - (h)ansel m)

Others I can't quite see:
10d Points to daughter getting up before son - I have DOTS
3d Carry off antique on the spot after mounting cry of approval- I have OLDIE
8d Truck for transporting copper - I have BOGEY

Apologies if some/all my answers are wrong!

D(aughter) ot - to getting up, S(on)
10d
D(aughter)
OT - to reversed
S(on)
10d to+d (daughter) backwards is DOT then put this before S (son.)

doh! should have spotted that one! Thanks all!
3d Which letters are you sure of ?
Bogey is slang for a copper or detective.
How it applies to truck I know not....
Question Author
Thanks shoots - bogey is an alternative spelling to bogie - a truck

and 17d is sorted - it is one of the clashes so I enter NAGAS in the grid
Bogie - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster ...
Definition of BOGIE. 1: a low strongly built cart . 2. a chiefly British: a swiveling railway

3d ?LDI?
Seems as if it's 'oldie' but I can't parse it either.
3d ELOIN - antique (archaic) carry off
OLE reversed +IN
There is another clash here.
Question Author
Thanks slaney - are all the clashes down "that" diagonal - I haven't got many but the diagonal must be right because it's "him" (apart from the "ES" at the botton right?)
Hi saladdodger - yes they are.
3d Which clue gave you the letter d?
Bogeys, such as found under railways carriages and locomotives are called trucks in US English.

Clearly not enough anoraks around - aka foamers in US English.
