Thanks bibblebub
14a is now ?D?T??N edition would fit?

[professorplum13]

Think 1d is TASER and I think I've finished at last!!

[bibblebub]

have found TASSE or TACE as part of the skirt of a piece of armour so maybe there is a variant TASE (but haven't found a reference yet)

[professorplum13]

Thanks bibblebub - I omitted to say that some of the clues have an extra letter in the wordplay so that "S" would be the extra there and the clue then works!
Thanks again1

ahh, that explains it - 14a) actions promoting disorder are SEDITION so the extra letter is S
