3 Quirk of distressed miners under cove 9 letters ?a?n?????

4 Displayed, having leg to contend with (2,4) ?n ???w

5 Marvellous police officer meets bishop 6 letters s?????

Thanks!

2 Recent = New
Odds = SP (betting term)
Apers = those copying

New SP Apers.
Newspapers = press.

5. A five-letter word for a particular police officer, rank of a police officer, plus a single-letter 'bishop' gives a word meaning Marvellous.

Got it, thanks!

3 mannerism anagram of man (cove) + miners

1 A four-letter car, often featuring in puzzles + a word meaning avoids, goes round, leads to female 'attire'.

Thanks,
I'm not sure about clue #1 - miniskirts?
and also about #4 - in view, on view or maybe on show?

Now I'm sure about #1. Thanks

Thanks, Enric.

On, leg, cricket and View, to contend, and W, with.
