Hi Steff and all. The puzzle is now up and running.
The clues are as follows:

15a. Animal with ears, eyes, brain, paws, tail, whiskers and imaginary pyjamas respectively likened to dandelion-like flowers, gems or reflectors, a long barrow, ripples or hitches, timothy grass or reed-mace, crystal detectors and excellent people (3)

30a. From “chaos”, a word coined by Flemish chemist J B van Helmont for a perfectly elastic fluid substance, such as carbon dioxide; or, colloquially, an aimless or free-flowing chat (3)

38a. From “chase”, a word meaning capture, grasp, seize or take, as in a ball or a cold; or, a clasp, clip, hasp, latch or anything that fastens or holds (5)

53a. A bar of colour; a belt; a binding for banknotes or braids; a body of brass instrumentalists, brothers, brumbies or burglars; or, a bond (4)

Good luck, I'm off to bedfordshire!
