Stuck in the top lefthand corner....
1a Objection with pressure losing initial support (8) ------S-
9a Satisfied about arrangement of nice easy job (8) ------R-
I'm assuming that 9a is a 4-letter word meaning "satisfied" surrounding an anagram of "nice" giving the answer "easy job", but it's not coming to me!
1d, 2d and 3d will probably come to me once those two are sorted.
