Any help much appreciated

6 reluctance
anagram t unclear ce

Thanks chrise, that also helps me to see that 11a is LIGHTBULB MOMENT

7d pension? (anagram of penis + on)

Yes, pension - French for a boarding house

7 Stables, hacks accommodated here. Stab, prick +Les, 'the French'.

Stables sounds better malone.

Thanks, Stevie. I've no longer got my copy, but Stables fitted my other answers.

I think I must have had my dirty head on when I came up with that.

That's one of the pitfalls of doing the Eye crossword - I get caught out more often by the normal clues than the others!
