My mind has blanked on the following...

15A Imagined ailment one's given by shellfish from N Zealand...I have -I-I...but if it's KIWI, then 8D is a problem..for which I have CO---I---N.

17A Eastern trade includes one accompaniment to fish and chips as before...I have EI-E-L...is it EIDEAL?

25A Hospital pair had turned over Australian bed coverings...I have D-O--S and can only think of DUOMOS...but I'm unsure about it's relevance.

Any help would be much appreicated.

17a Eisell - archaic name for vinegar
15a pipi ?
Duvets in Australia are called doonas which fits but I don't see the wordplay.
25a Doonas - Australian name for Duvets - San + oo +d reversed
Doonas - 'san' (hospital) + oo (a pair, in cricket eg) + (ha)d (all turned)
What's the clue for 8d please?
