10d Indian settlement British dismantle, insolvent (9) ????O????
15d Posset drunk, lord bedded - we'll finish off works (9) ???T????S
11a Driver best give a wide berth, for whom it's a game injecting heroin (4) ?E?E

10d B (British) + UNDO (dismantle) + BUST (insolvent) = BUNDOBUST

15d LUD (lord) in anagram of POSSET = POSTLUDES

11a H (heroin) in JEU = JEHU (2 Kings 9:20 "the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously")

Thanks frogman - i had filled in hertz instead of hurts!

[TheFrogman]

...which would in turn have given you a problem solving 6d...

[pomona]

? I've got thrust for 6d??

Finished now I think! But found the left side quite tricky after filling in right side quite quickly!

Thanks again frogman

[TheFrogman]

Yes, 6d is THRUST, being T plus an anagram of the solution to 7d (HURTS) which might have seemed a little puzzling with HERTZ at 7d!

And it certainly wasn't the easiest Azed this week...

Aha! Wondered about the wordplay for that one! Thanks again - enjoy the rest of this lovely sunny day!
