I just tried it again.
It's probably more to do with the fact that if I'm deliberatly pronouncing an L sound I can't help but pronounce the rest of the word in my normal way.
I still have the same problem with some katakana English words, sometimes I just forget that I should just pronounce them the way they are written in katakana just end up pronouncing them how I would normally.
But then again I've never pronounced らりるれ or ろ using an R sound, so I've never had to do anything like pronouncing an L sound, because as soon as I started learning Japanese I could kind of roll my R's and stuff like that anyway, so I just practised at that from the offset.
