Dear John,
I hope you can help me.  The other day, I set off for work,leaving my husband in the house watching TV.  My car stalled, and then it broke down about a mile from down the road, and I had to walk back to get my husband'shelp.  When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes.  He was in our bedroom with my neighbor's daughter!

I am 32, my husband is 34 and the neighbor's daughter is 19.  We have been married for 10 years.  When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they have been having an affair for the past six months.  He won't go to counseling, and I'm afraid          I am a wreck and need your advice urgently.  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.  It could also be that the fuel pump itself is faulty.
I hope this helps, John
