1.Alkali metal without influence of old tele network (6)
2.A metal jointing process in disarray (5)
3.Terrace - alpha 7 included (5) (the first letter in the clue to answer 7 is i which may be relevant) Wondered about Okapi but other than possibly kop meaning terrace I can't parse it properly.
4.A sound way to achieve a smooth reverse in one of these (6)
5.Up against it? Only in France (5)
6.Sounds like a good hair day for a moggy (8)
7.Sounds like infuriation when confused bird is outside ( 8)
8.Question? A gas operated weapon without numbers(3). Think it could be gnu but other than it being an anagram of gun I can't really parse the question part of it.
Any help would be welcome
