Chris, 5d is a last letter replacement, defn is the last word, not the first. I’m also a little perplexed by 12a

Chrise
re 5d I parsed the 'tank' as a Zodiac 'sign' with M(ale) replacing first letter of 'septic'

Thanks both. I had the last letter for 5 wrong, in fact.
12 doesn't work for me.

This was fun!

I'm not 100% sure on the parsing of 14a. I can see how most of it could work, but are the first two letters really just "shortly have"?

Re 12…
Tramp on the Guardian blog just now “12a is a bit naughty. I probably should have rewritten it”

Gweilo, 14a, yes re the the first two letters, then a four letter word for ‘meals’ followed by two letters for ‘for one’ all reversed, then two letters for ‘let me see”
