Actually, I've just noticed that I have two more unparsed clues...

43a Provide cash for New York, backing topless people dancing outside (8)

I get the N and K but not how the rest is parsed.

37d Tease fiance in Gretna Green perhaps without kissing at first (4)

I see where the K comes from but not the rest.

Add one more to the two below..

46a Every so often expanded base, switching limits for one in error (5)

I can't really parse any of this.

37 D. The other three letters, word, is an old Scottish term for sweetheart, love, fiancé.

46 A. Base = the three letters in the middle of the answer, reversed.
The first and last letters = the limits, first and last letters, of a three letter 'error'.

Looking at this again I find I have one letter missing for 36d. Can't see how to fit Moldovan currency unless it's a single letter?

Granama, it's a three letter currency, with European put inside. Coin is the definition.

Many thanks Malone.

I think I have 43a - Is it 4 letter "party/people dancing" raround N + (y)ORK reversed/backing and topless?

Hi Granama1 - the Moldovan currency is 3 letters beginning with B with E(uro) placed in it.

....and thanks Brendan. Only started doing the Inquisitor a few weeks ago after a recommendation on here and every one has been great fun 😊

Same here, Granama1, I went off Malone's recommendation. I think my first one was the TV licence ransom one and, with the exception of last week's, where I couldn't make any real headway, they have all been outstanding.
