Hi new to the l200 scene ? I’m a truck driver from Tullibody( central 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) but don’t hold that against me lol 😂 I recently got a 57 plate l200 doublecab , couple of wee issues I need too deal with, rear prop shaft is currently being refurbished my power steering is stiff on ide but ok when driving ( i suspect a pump issue) but willing to listen to advice from experienced l200 owners 👍 and the biggest issue is not getting the radio to tune in to any frequency? Ariel is plugged in but not tuning in ?.... many thanks for letting me join your forum I look forward to receiving advice from yourselves in the future 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the welcome, picking a L200 animal up on Sunday 2006 low road tax model. Black Double cab. I am bound to have some stupid newbie questions coming your way soon. Live in Essex. Sorry it is the B40 pram shape model.

Big Les, I had an issue with a van years ago that I couldn't get the radio to work in. My fault was the previous owner had changed the stereo and added an aerial extension and turns out that was the only bit plugged into the back of the unit. I found this out by running a meter on continuity from the aerial outside to the plug that went in the back of the unit. Yours may be an easy fix like this you never know. With the power steering I'd be tempted to replace the belt and make sure the fluid is topped up and a nice color before replacing the pump as it's not 'common' for them to need replacing.

Buellie, fire away with your questions bud , everyone was a newbie once

Hi All,

Thanks for the welcome, I've had a 2008 Walkinshaw for about 4 months now and loving it. Currently in North Kent but making the move to Cornwall (hopefully!) By the end of the year

Not done too much to the truck as yet as not really had the time, just a new head unit and uprated speakers in the front as they were blown when I brought it. Will be looking at getting set up for some more serious off roading before the move with some mud terrains, front winch bumper and heavy duty rear tow. The place were moving to is as remote as you can get pretty much which is the reason for the mods (plus I can justify the expense to the Mrs)

I'm sure I'll have loads of questions so I look forward to picking everyone's brains soon.

We've got an offer accepted on a house that's in the middle of Bodmin Moor, about 5/10 minutes south of Temple at the end of a big dirt track.
