Car pulls to the left
Ok so i just got a vtr mk2 2001,and it is pulling to the left as i drive,it was worse but then i pumped up the tyres as they were at 1 bar from the last owner and its considerabily better,But it is still pulling left a little,the car has been sitting a while so i thought it may be the brakes and it will fix itself?,any ideas?

sounds like tracking needs doing, if not then check for worn or bent suspension parts. but try tracking first cos its cheaper.lol

I found recently most chain places (kwik-fit etc) won't look at a VTR due to the cramped and awkward track rods. Then local place did it twice for £25!
Is steering wheel straight when driving?
Does it pull to one side under braking?
Does it pull to other side under acceleration at speed?

Could be an axle, or perhaps just a tyre problem. Cars pulling to the left or right, most commonly is because of the tyre being deflated. You said it helped when you blew it up, right?
