welcome aboard everyone

I'm your southwest of England area rep, just give me a shout if there is anything I can help you with
feel free to ask any questions you have and we will all do our best to answer them for you

Hi and welcome

Hi, cheers for the add. Names Alex, from North Wraxall in Wiltshire (between Bath and Chippenham). Got a 55 plate Warrior, reg is MP55 CVO so give it a wave if you roll on by! Heard about the forum on Facebook.

Hi
Thanks for the message and hello to all members I just purchased my first L 200 on Monday an 05 plate king cab Warrior and had fun and games getting it started this morning maybe the glow plugs are on the way out!!!
Cheers Paul

Hi Paul
if you turn on the ignition and wait for the glow plug light to go out, shortly after you'll hear a click from the relay, turn the ignition off and do the same again but start it after the click. If it starts easier then it's a surefire sign of the glowplugs on their way out.

Welcome PAul

If you had a waft of greyish smoke once you got it started then chances are its glow plugs , if not possibly air leak in the fuel lines from possibly corroded ' stack pipes' on the fuel tank

Hi everyone

Hi
Thanks for the advice there was a waft of grey smoke I am having a cam belt done done on Tuesday I can get them to look at the glow plugs for me hopefull it won't cost too much.
Thanks again Paul

while they are doing the cam belt , get them to check for delamination on the bottom pulley as they have been known to deteriorate and fail
the pulley is made of two parts separated by a rubber bit and this bit fails over time
worth getting it done if it's on it's way out and they are doing the belts anyway

Due to age of vehicle , waterpump also whilst its all off would be a good idea as a precautionary measure

Hi All thanks for the add!
I have recently bought a 2006 l200.
It has 90k miles and has had cambelt changed recently.
First gear and reverse are a pain in the arse when the engine is cold. When it warms up its fine so i'm hoping it just needs the gear oil changed.
Is there somewhere i can find out what oil and how to change the oil?
Thanks

what shape is the truck bud as 2006 was change over year ?
we call the older ones classics (with square shaped rear doors)
the newer ones are prams (big curve on the rear doors)
is yours an auto or a manual ?

Its the newer shape and its manual. Thanks

@Nick @animal @tmw4562 @pcat may be able to tell you which oil you need , I think it's ep75w90 or something like that

mine is harder to get into first gear when it's cold ......... despite having gearbox oil changed
only really notice it when I try and select first while moving
cant tell you what oil is in mine as I bunged it in the garage to have it done while they were doing the belts and stuff

Mine's an auto but iirc manual is same as transfer box i think API classification GL-3 SAE 75W-85

Yes manual box is the same API classification GL-3 SAE 75W-85

and a very warm welcome to the forum tell us where your from don't be shy

Welcome to the forum

Its been even worse in the snow, literally cant get it in 1st or 2nd until it warms up a bit. Any ideas? Does anyone know somebody near Maidstone i can get the transmission oils changed and perhaps have a check on it as i dont really know what im doing to be honest?

Thanks

Just drove to get some lunch and the truck has started to judder and lose power now as well 😬 Bad times!
