Sept
24th, 2007- Why men don't write advice columns
Dear Walter:
I
hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving
my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone
more than a few hundred yards down the road when my engine conked
out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get
my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes.
He was parading in front of the wardrobe mirror dressed in my
underwear and high-heel shoes, and he was wearing my make up.
I
am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years.
When
I confronted him, he tried to make out that he had dressed in
my lingerie because he couldn't find his own underwear. But when
I asked him about the make up, he broke down and admitted that
he'd been wearing my clothes for six months. I told him to stop
or I would leave him.
He
was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been
feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very
much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly
distant.
I
don't feel I can get through to him anymore. Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Sheila.
Dear Sheila :
A
car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused
by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that
there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the
jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold.
If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that
the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure
to the carburetor float chamber.
I hope this helps.
Walt
