Think I have finished but unable to fully pharse two answers.
17d write about railway climbing above spot up in mountains(8) pyrenees? 27a resolution keeping experts going without break(6) recess?

Hi Thomas, 17d is PEN (Write) around YR (RY reversed for Railway) + SEE (Spot again reversed for 'Up')

27a The letter A is missing from your clue, but it's Resolution = RES (It's an accepted abbreviation) around (a)CES (Experts without 'A')

Thank you so much.

Glad to help, Thomas.

2 to do
3 down Government ending in ruin, engulfed by corruption and acrimony (9). L - R - - - N - E
12 ac precious stone in course of robbery lost. (5) B - R - -

12 BERYL (in clue)

3d: virulence = acrimony ( def)
rule- government
n- ( rui)n
vice- corruption


12a: beryl= precious stone
hidden in clue

Thanks Elle and Stevie Gee, I didn't realise Beryl was other than a female name and previous error to 1ac gave me B rather than V.
All done now.
