Inquisitor 1322

[saladdodger]

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!

[scorpiojo]

D(aughter) ot - to getting up, S(on)

[shoota]

10d
D(aughter)
OT - to reversed
S(on)

[elliemay1]

10d to+d (daughter) backwards is DOT then put this before S (son.)

[saladdodger]

doh! should have spotted that one! Thanks all!

[elliemay1]

3d Which letters are you sure of ?

[shoota]

Bogey is slang for a copper or detective.
How it applies to truck I know not....

[saladdodger]

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

[elliemay1]

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

[saladdodger]

3d ?LDI?

[elliemay1]

Seems as if it's 'oldie' but I can't parse it either.

[slaney]

3d ELOIN - antique (archaic) carry off
OLE reversed +IN
There is another clash here.

[saladdodger]

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?)

[slaney]

Hi saladdodger - yes they are.

[elliemay1]

3d Which clue gave you the letter d?

[bobshawaddy]

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.
