kenscar

Thanks scoobynut - probably the cheapest way to go first.

Only recently bought the car so I've no history. The car is 2 years old, would the engine mount wear so quickly ? -although I admit it sounds plausable.

My Laurin & Klement veers to the right when accelerating and to the left when decelerating- could this be a steering geometry problem or is it the wheel alignment (I understand it's all 4 wheels that have to be aligned ) The front tyres are new( and ballanced) and all tyres are the correct pressure.

don't know much about it yet(it's on a 56 plate and will have to be re-registered here,-big bone of contention- vehicle registration tax on this car is around €2500) but it's a lot more economical than my previous 1.6 GLXi petrol Octavia. Diesel in Ireland is much cheaper than petrol. will try and get some photos sorted out.

Thanks. it's a 1.9 5 speed fed on tractor juice but I love it.

My Laurin & klement veers to the right when accelerating sharply and veers to the left when decelerating sharply. Is this a fault with the steering geometry or the wheel alignment ?( which I understand on this car is done on all four wheels ) . The front tyres are new and all tyres are at the correct pressure.

Hi, just bought a secondhand Laurin & Klement and I'm delighted with it. I live in the republic of Ireland and haven't seen another one here yet. (I'm sure they are here- I just haven't seen one:O) . I had a Mk.1 Octavia for 9 years so I learnt a bit about them, I also picked up lots of usefull information from this site. Thanks and keep up the good work.
