Why men don't write advice columns (joke!)

Dear Dave,

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 driven more than a mile down the road
when the 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 in our bedroom with the neighbour's daughter. I am 32,
my husband is 34, and the neighbour's daughter is 22. We have been
married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted
that they had 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 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. He won't go to counselling and I'm afraid I
can't 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 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.

Dave.

I was going to move this to Mad House, as we have quite a few posts in 'Anything Else....(on a car theme) which have nowt to do with 'a car theme'......

But then.....I saw the poor love had an 'engine stalling' problem.......so it stays 'here'......

Good advice from Dave.....

I bet the woman has either NOT filled the car up, or, put the wrong fuel in, she should know the difference between diesel and un-leaded by now.
