Can anyone tell me if there are any definitions of how tight "finger
tight" or "hand tight" is? How does it relate to a torque reading -
surely we've all got hands of different torque? ;-)

Whilst I'm here, has anyone got a recommendation for a small torque
wrench - one in the range of about 5 Nm to perhaps 25 Nm.

Thanks in advance,

David Paste.

Todays fuels seem to seperate and gum up the fuel system much more quicly than in the past. One way to stop this and bacterial growth is to use a fuel catalyst, which keeps fuel fresh, as well as stops bacterial growth in the fuel system. It is an expensive job to clean out a fuel system, but by using a Fuel Cat tank unit, you can avoid this.

Ex. No. (1)

It was narrated that ‘Aisha, May Allah be pleased with her, said to
the Prophet, Peace be upon him: "Have you ever come across a day
harder than the day ofUhod (one of the battles with the polytheists,
in which Muslims were defeated failing to comply with the Prophet's
instructions)?" He replied: "I have suffered from your people a lot.
The hardest I suffered was on the day of Akaba (a place name). I
brought out my message to Abd Yaleil bin Abd Kalal. He did not respond
positively to what I called him for. I left there with a grief-
stricken face. I did not wake up from that feeling, until I was near
Karn-Ath-Tha-aleb (a place name). I raised my head, where I found a
cloud casting its shadow over me. Upon looking, I saw Jibril (the
angel) into it. He called upon me: Allah (the Almighty) has heard the
saying of your people, and what kind of reply they gave to you. Allah
has sent the angel of the mountains for you ready to do with them
whatever you ask. The angel of the mountains called, and saluted me
saying: "Oh Muhammad, what I do will be as you request. If you want, I
close the two mountains on them?" The Prophet, Peace be upon him,
replied: "Instead of that, I am hoping that Allah (the Al mighty) will
create from their offspring people who worship Allah alone, without
ascribing partners unto Him" narrated by Al Bukhari.

Ex. No. (2):

It was narrated that Ibn-Omar (the son of Omar), May Allah be pleased
with both of them, said that after one of the battles of the Prophet
PBUH, a woman was found killed. In response, the Prophet PBUH
prohibited the killing of women and children. Narrated by Al Bukhari.

Ex. No. (3):

Anas-bin-Malek, May Allah be pleased with him, said:
A Jewish youth who served the Prophet, Peace be upon him, became ill,
and the Prophet paid him a visit. The Prophet, peace be upon him, sat
near the youth's head, and he spoke to him saying: "Embrace Islam".
The youth averted his eyes towards his father, who was also beside
him. The father told his son: "ObeyAbal-Kassem (one of the common
names of the Prophet PBUH)". The youth embraced Islam (before dying),
and the Prophet, peace be upon him, went out saying: "Thanks to Allah
(the Almighty) Who rescued him from hellfire." narrated by Al Bukhari.

Ex. No. (4):

Abdullah Ibn-Amr, May Allah be pleased with both, reported that the
Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
"He who kills a promisor (a non-Muslim living among Muslims where he
is promised to have protection, and he promises not to help enemies
against Muslims, hence, he is called 'a promisor'), will not smell the
fragrance of paradise, though its fragrance is recognizable from a
distance of forty years." narrated by Al Bukhari.

Ex. No. (5):

Boraida-bin-Al-Hosaib reported that when the Prophet, peace be upon
him, delegated a prince to lead an army or a small army, he advised
him, and Muslims with him, to be devoted to Allah, and to act to the
common good. Then, he said: "Your battle should be in the name of
Allah, and for His sake. Fight disbelievers. Fight, but don't
exaggerate, don't cheat, don't mutilate, don't kill a new-born child.
If you meet your enemies of polytheists call them for one of three
options. Whatever they take, you must accept, and stop fighting them.
Call them to Islam. If they take it, accept, and stop fighting them.
Then call them to transfer from their home to the home of immigrants
(Al Madina, or Hijra house, where all Muslims, at the start of Islam
gathered). Tell them if they do so, they will have the same rights and
duties of the immigrants. If, however, their choice was not to
transfer from home, their status will be the same as the Muslim
Bedouins (away in the desert), by the command of Allah not having the
right for spoils or almsgiving unless they join holy war (Jihad)
beside other Muslims. If they refused (Islam) ask them to pay the
tribute (tax taken from non-Muslims for protection). If they gave a
positive reply, accept that, and stop fighting them. If they refused,
seek the help of Allah, and fight them. If you lay a siege around a
fortress, and they ask to have the warranty of Allah and the warranty
of his Messenger, do not give them the warranty of Allah and the
warranty of his Messenger. But give them your warranty and the
warranty of your companions. Observing your warranty and the warranty
of your companions will be easier than observing the warranty of Allah
and the warranty of his Messenger. If you lay a siege around a
fortress, and its people ask to be brought down to thejudgement of
Allah, don't bring them down to the judgement of Allah. But, bring
them down to your own judgement, since; you never know whether
yourjudgement will be the same as the right judgement of Allah about
them or not." narrated by Muslim.


Ex. No. (6):

Abu Huraira, May Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet,
Peace be upon him, delegated some horsemen to a place called Najd .
The horsemen captured a man from the tribe of Bani-Hanifa called
Thomama-bin-Athal. They tied the captive to one of the posts in the
mosque. The Prophet, Peace be upon him, came out to him saying: "How
do you find yourself Thomama?" Thomama replied: "Good, Muhammad. If
you kill me, you shed (retaliatory) blood. If you pardon me, you do a
favour to an appreciative person. If you are seeking money, ask
whatever amount you want." He was left until the next day. The
Prophet, Peace be upon him, asked him the same question (the next
day), and he replied "The same like yesterday, if you pardon me, you
do a favour to an appreciative person". The Third day, The Prophet,
Peace be upon him, asked him the same question, and the captive gave
the same reply. The Prophet, Peace be upon him, said" "Set Thomama
free!". Thomama went to a place near the mosque where he washed (did
ablution; Wudu’), and came back to the mosque giving the testimony "I
bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah". Then, he added: "I swear by Allah, that on earth
no face was more hateful to me than your face. Now, your face is the
one I love most. I swear by Allah, your religion was the one I
disliked most. Now, it is the religion I like most. I swear by Allah,
your city was the worst place for me. Now, it is your city which I
like most. Your horsemen took me, when I was going for Omra (a smaller
pilgrimage out of the normal time of Haj that was also practiced by
polytheists before Islam imitating the monotheist religion of Abraham,
PBUH). So, what is your decision?" The Prophet, Peace be upon him,
announced him and ordered him to go for Omra. When he went toMakkah,
somebody there said to him: "You have changed your religion!" (a
shameful accusation for them) "No." he replied, "But I joined Islam
with Muhammad, Peace be upon him. From now on, you will not receive
even one grain of wheat from (my land) Al-Yamama, unless by the
permission of the Prophet, Peace be upon him." narrated by Al Bukhari.


Ex. No. (7):

Khalid-bin-Al-Walid, May Allah be pleased with him, said: "I joined
the Prophet, Peace be upon him, at the battle of Kheibar, where the
Jews came complaining that people were harrying to their
warehouses." (In response), the Prophet, Peace be upon him, said: "The
possessions of promisors are not permissible unless by a rightful
claim". Narrated by Abu-Dawood with a sound reference.


Ex. No. (8):

Sahel-bin-Saad-As-Sa’edi, May Allah be pleased with him, reported that
he heard the Prophet, Peace be upon him, saying on the day of Kheibar
battle:
"I will give the flag to the man that Allah brings victory through
him" The companions stood up to see which of them will be given the
flag. Then, he said: "Where is Ali?" He was given the answer that Ali,
May Allah be pleased with him, was suffering from pain in his eyes. He
called Ali, supplicated Allah (the Almighty) for Ali's cure, spitting
in Ali's eyes. Ali was cured on the spot, as if he suffered no pain.
Ali, May Allah be pleased with him, said: "We fight them until they
are (Muslims) like us"? The Prophet, Peace be upon him, replied "Wait
until you are on their land. Then, call them to Islam, and tell them
their duties, I swear, that if Allah guided even a single man through
you, will be better for you than getting the most expensive
livestock." narrated by Al Bukhari, and Muslim.


Ex. No. (9):

It was reported that Abu Huraira, May Allah be pleased with him, said
that the Prophet, Peace be upon him, was asked to invoke Allah (the
Almighty) against polytheists. He replied: "I was not sent out for
cursing, I was sent out as a mercy" narrated by Muslim.


Ex. No. (10):

It was reported that Abu Huraira, May Allah be pleased with him, said:
"I called my mother for Islam, when she was still a polytheist. One
day, upon calling her, she said to me words about the Prophet,Peace be
upon him that I hate. I went to the Prophet, Peace be upon him,
crying. I said: "Messenger of Allah! I was calling my mother to Islam,
but she was refusing. Today, I called her, but she said to me words
about you that I hate. Supplicate that Allah (the Almighty) guide
mother of Abu Huraira to Islam". At that the Prophet, Peace be upon
him, said: "Oh Allah! I call upon you to guide the mother ofAbu
Huraira". I went out very happy at the supplication of the Prophet,
Peace be upon him. Going back home, when I was near the door, my
mother heard my steps. "Stay where you are Abu Huraira!" she shouted.
I heard the sound of pouring water. Then, after washing, dressing, and
putting on her veil, she opened the door, and said: "AbuHuraira, I
bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and thatMuhammad (PBUH)
is His Slave and His Messenger" I went back to the Prophet, Peace be
upon him, crying this time out of joy, and I said to him: "Oh
Messenger of Allah! I have the good news that Allah (the Almighty)
responded to your supplication, and guided the mother of Abu
Huraira". The Prophet,Peace be upon him, thanked Allah, and praised
Him, and said good words. Then, I said: "Oh, Messenger of Allah!
Supplicate Allah that His slaves and believers love both me and my
mother, and make us love believers. The Prophet, Peace be upon him,
said: "Oh Allah! I call upon you to make this little slave of yours –
he means Abu Huraira – and his mother, beloved to your slaves and
believers, and make your slaves and believers beloved to them." No
believer on earth who heard of me or saw me, but he loved me" narrated
by Muslim.


Ex. No. (11):

It was reported that Abu Huraira, May Allah be pleased with him, said:
"Tofail-bin-Amr-Ad-Dawsi and his companions, came to the Prophet,
Peace be upon him, and said: "Messenger of Allah! Daws (a tribe name)
disobeyed and revolted against us, invoke Allah (the Almighty) against
them. Thinking that the Prophet PBUH would do that, the people said:
"Aws has perished". The Prophet, Peace be upon him, said: "Oh Allah! I
call upon you to favour Awas with your guidance, and bring them".
Narrated by Bukhary


Ex. No. (12):

It was reported that Jabir-bin-Abdullah, May Allah be pleased with
both of them said: "Oh! "Messenger of Allah, we have been hit severely
by the fire arrows of Thakif (a tribe name), invoke Allah (the
Almighty) against them. The Prophet, Peace be upon him, said: "Oh
Allah! I call upon you to favour Thakif with your guidance" narrated
by Al-Tirmizi with a sound reference.

I was driving home yesterday and managed to get stuck in snow just
yards from home! Some kind soul had to push me. The embarrassing thing
was that the road was more or less level and the snow was not that
deep.

I tried to be gentle with the steering, brakes, etc and use high gears
but the ABS and ESP lights flashed on occasion. I only got the car
late last year (Ford Mondeo 2L diesel) and hadn't got round to buying
winter tyres. I am sure that tyres would be a good first step but I am
under no illusion that winter tyres will make my car invincible.

Even if the council grit the main roads (which they didn't!), that
still leaves the problem of getting from home onto the main road, and
that was the bit that defeated me yesterday.

I'm wondering whether a set of chains would have stopped me getting
into trouble? I had a google but some sites suggest chains are awkward
to put on but others say they are much improved now. Which is true?

Are there any makes to look for or to avoid? I will probably look to
buy new tyres first but wondered about chains as a last resort?

TIA

Hankook tyres for about 80,000 miles and have never noticed any effect on
fuel consumption.

About 3 weeks ago I had to change all four tyres and I noticed an immediate
increase in fuel consumption (up by about 10%). The latest tyres are
Hankook Ventus Prime 2 but I couldn't tell you what it had on before

Yes, I have checked and double checked the tyre pressures and pumped them
up to the "laden vehicle" pressures to see if it would improve things but
it hasn't. Has anyone else noticed as big an increase in fuel consumption
with new tyres? Would it be worth going back to my tyre shop?

The clutch cables is getting a bit frayed on my 1.7TD cavalier 1994

side of the bulkhead needs to be removed/slackened to extract the cable,
or will it come out to one side. The bolt holding the plate is pretty
difficult to get at - if it does then I guess it's easier to remove the
fuel filter for access.

An other tips appreciated.
