Dear Uncle Ted,
I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a mile when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt.I walked back home to get my husband to help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbour lady making passionate love to her.I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he said that he went out into the back yard and heard a lady scream, had gone to her rescue but found her unconscious. He'd carried her back to our house, laid her on the bed, and begun CPR.When she awoke she immediately began thanking him and kissing him and he was attempting to break free when I came back.But when I asked him why neither of them had any clothes on, he broke down and admitted that he'd been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job a few months ago and said he'd been feeling increasingly worthless. I love him very much, but since I gave him the ultimatum he has become even more distant.I don't feel that I can get through to him anymore. Can you please help me?
Sincerely,
Susie Fox
Dear Susie,
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults.Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the clips holding the vacuum lines to your inlet manifold for air leaks. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburettor float chamber. I hope this helps.

Merry Christmas all
