I'm stuck at the top right-hand side maybe some help with this one please will let me answer the rest.
12 A Make to withdraw in secret, a renegade. (8) ?e?????e

generate backwards in clue

Thank you very much Andyc I never noticed it was backwards.

Having trouble parsing these, help much appreciated......

4a Coat bound to cover a hole, half reversed - ( 6) - MOHAIR (Coat)

I can see A HO)le) reversed, but how does RIM come from 'Bound to cover'?

26a Drained piping, distant or otherwise, in remote outlet (7,4) - TRADING POST (Remote outlet)

Literally cannot parse a single letter of this clue!

4d Club that's used in riot control (4) - MACE (Club)

This could almost be a straight definition, what is the cryptic relevance of 'Riot control'?

Ok, I'm going to retire for the night and will check back tomorrow to see and thank anyone who's solved the parsing issues.

Trading post - P(ipin)g distant or , anagram

Mace - a club and a spray used by Police

"bound" (noun) is "rim", i think.
"rim" covers "a ho(le)", reversed, giving "mohair".
That's my stab at it anyway!

I looked up "bound" (noun) in Merriam Webster's synonyms and it gives, border, brim, edge, margin, RIM, verge.

Excellent, many thanks Mamya, many thanks Rusty.

It's where the expression "beating the bounds" - a procession around the borders of a town - comes from.
