Dear 6Pack:
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 on my TR6, 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. 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,
Mrs. Sheila U.
Dear Sheila:
A TR6 stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety
of faults with the engine and happens to the best of us. Start by checking
that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check that the
plugs, points, condenser and rotor are all new and adjusted properly (read
your Bentley manual), and that all vacuum lines are in good order. If none of
these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is
faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.
Let me know if this helps.
