I believe the answer is:

protractor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it measures the angles in favour' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a powerful motor vehicle' is the wordplay.
'a powerful' becomes 'pro' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'motor vehicle' becomes 'tractor' (tractor is a kind of motor vehicle).
'pro'+'tractor'='PROTRACTOR'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for protractor that I've seen before include "Geometry set item" , "Geometrical instrument" , "muscle" , "draughtsman may use this" , "Angle-measuring device" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
