Ever wondered why the world has agony aunts and not uncles? No? Well, because this is what would happen if men decided to pen down advice on relationships, dating and other assorted troubles... Dear Neville, I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV.

Dear Neville,

I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV.

My car started stalling and then it broke down about a mile down the road and I had to walk back to get my husbands help. When I got home, I couldnt believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbours daughter!

I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbours daughter is 19. We have been married for 10 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. He wont go to counselling and Im afraid I am a wreck
and need advice urgently. Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Sandra

Dear Sandra,

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 vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.

I hope this helps.

Neville
