"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 injector chamber.

If men wrote to agony aunts:
Dear Abbey (columnist)
I've never written to you before, but i really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.
The usual signs... phone rings but if i answer, the caller hangs up.
My wife has been going out with the girls alot recently although when i ask their names she always says, "just some friends from work, you don't know them"
I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although i can hear a car driving off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?
I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that i should never touch her phone again, and asked why i was checking up on her.
Anyway, i have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down i just didn't want to know the truth, but last night i decided to really check on her. I decided i was going to park my 2006 Yamaha R1 motorcycle next to the garage and then hide behind it so i could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my Yamaha R1, that i noticed that the valve covers on my engine seem to be leaking a little oil.
Where is the best place to get replacement gaskets or should I just try abit of sealant?
Thanks
Steve
