some clues have a misprint in the defn.
Crossers may not help as some answers have to be changed on entry...

35a Scott's sun-dried clay shortly embedded in the centre (5)

38a Arriving with limited signal disrupted texts in court (8)

35 I got it from crossing letters - it's Walter's Scott's word for 'sun-dried clay'. I can't think of a hint... your bathroom may be this.

28 The usual abbreviation for 'arriving' plus the usual 'limited' of 'signal'. Disrupted = anagram. There's a misprint in this one.

32 The misprint is in the first word - it took me a while to spot that! A four-letter word for 'mere' get shortened (cut off, you've got much of it) +Radio transmitter ( meaning I hadn't known).

In the letters, your W is wrong. There's a letter between your O and E, giving the last word.

My 27 isn't Oclair - but something very similar! If you had a different first letter...I assumed the first letter wasn't in that position originally.
