Letter of the day

Dear Miriam,
The other day I set off for work leaving my husband watching television as usual. I hadn�t gone a hundred yards down the road when the car conked out and juddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husbands help. When I got home I found him in our bedroom. 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 and my husband is 34 and we have been married for 12 years. When I confronted him he tried to make out that he had dressed up in my lingerie because he couldn�t find any of his own underwear. But when I asked him about the make up, he broke down and admitted that he�d been dressing up like this for 6-months. I told him it had to stop or I would leave him.

He was made redundant from his job about 6-months ago, and he says that he is feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but since I gave him the ultimatum, he has become very distant and withdrawn. I don�t think that I can get through to him anymore. Can you help?

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults in the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris blocking the fuel line. If it is clear, then check the jubilee clips that hold the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches don�t solve the problem, then it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to carburettor float chamber, in which case, you made need the services of a professional mechanic.
