Bharat, those last few clues have been ... not very good. I hope they don't put people off crosswords!

yes Malone you are right. They are definitely putting people off crosswords, especially beginners.

Definition is 'argument'
'measuring instrument' (5) + the initial letters of two words ... all reversed, and all in 'police' (4)

Two single letters for American model (an old chestnut) go inside a two word phrase for eventually 2,4.

Definition is friend, a word not usually used as a noun.

Thanks Jono. I could get the word. In fact I had this word earlier but ignored it as i couldn't parse it the way you did it.
