\If you know your Tekton one is calibrated correctly then you can use that to check the Britool one...albeit not to the top of its' range
My two, one dial and one electronic, both have ratchets. I guess I would struggle tor recall a time that I have ever had to torque a LH thread, on the Defender, or the P38 - but sometimes I've used it to remove a nut if it was in a funny location and for whatever reason the wrench had the "right" geometry for access. So it can be a useful function to have IMHO, unless it's going to save you zillions of £s
I wonder if you're being a bit quick on the key - turning it on, but then letting it turn back... I have noticed with my Defender 4.0 (which I use as my bell weather as I've had it almost from 5 yrs old, it has always been properly serviced and has almost undetectable HC in emissions testing) that if I am a bit quick to release the key ie before the engine's caught then I also have issue on the second turn - assuming same as you, over-fueling.
On the RR 4.6, it is generally well behaved, but in this weather it has missed the odd first-turn - and I haven't yet eliminated that being my poor key-turning etiquette (ie being too accustomed to the instant catch, but being too impatient to wait an extra couple of secs). It hasn't stressed me enough to get the nano out and start looking at temps yet, but I may do out of idle curiosity. I was looking at trims the other day though, and noticed the ECM uses the same 38.75% at start up that it was using in the winter, before the o2 sensors kick in - now, if I can only work out how the ECM determines that start-up value I could maybe fool it. Has anyone decoded the mysteries of the GEMS fuelling tables ? It had a new ECT last year, I can check it, but I doubt it's that.
On the RR, my IAT has an extra resistor across it which gives me an extra 10-15 degree boost, but typically still a few degrees below ambient. I did even have the IAT disconnected for a while (by accident) and although connecting it again it seemed to make starting a bit better, it was not dramatic. Which is all to confirm that the IAT prob doesn't have too much influence, as Rave implies
I don't think using an adapter will be less accurate, however, all torque wrenches have their range... if you use an adapter (either up, or down) it probably means you are operating further away from the mid-point torque for the design. I have a 1/2" Kamasa, which is the normal type with a micrometer-type handle, and a clarkepro 3/8" electronic which is great, as it beeps even when the screen is facing away from you. The 3/8 one is definitely not for you though, as it will only do about 100 ft lbs.
Hi KCR, Do you have a photo of this colour? Are you talking about lightstone (a light beige)?
Retired welding engineer ? A useful guy to have on the team !!

To get into the "Service Mode" of the factory navigation, go into the "Settings" menu and then press and hold the "Menu" button for about 10s. From memory it doesn't give you much to play around with - just testing of sensor/button inputs and showing hardware/software versions, and checking GPS reception.
Marty...our other resident gold mine... someone should develop Trivial Pursuit for P38s
Silence - is that "oh cr** i forgot I needed cold pipes", or because of higher priority fixes getting in the way?
Re Nano - it's in the instrumentation section, but doesn't let you re-program anything, so not much use day to day.
Good point re GPS - there must be some kind of back door
Never mind Rave - all you need is Gilbert - can we get a download somewhere ?
Congrats
Similar story - Maxi cosi pebble https://www.maxi-cosi.co.uk/car-seats/pebble-pro-i-size we used it with a isofix base ( pre RR) but you can also get one that uses a belt. If your wife is driving she will probably want this to go on the passenger seat (air bag off) and rear facing - maxi cos uses the stabilising leg on the base to go to the floor. I think we effectively skipped the carry-cot in car step, though we had a pram (stokke xplory) for the lying flat stage, which can be used as a push chair later on - and forward or rear facing.
Good luck - you can spend a fortune on this stuff, but the second-hand stuff can be truly un-hygienic, and IMHO only buy decent brands, even if 2nd hand, so that you can sell it on... I sold my one while I was in Halfords looking for the next size up - a couple were looking to buy a new Pebble and I sold them my old on the spot :o)
Ah yes, good spot - that wd definitely screw things up
As Richard says - I didn't need to trim mine either - simply sat in the V
I know you replaced the components, but are your ac pipes in the engine bay cold? Else you have a different issue
Good news, so - conclusion was timing cover gasket failure?
You're not far... if you have something you need a second pair of hands on I can pop down fairly easily

Cheers Gilbert! It's good to know I am not the only Disco owner on here.
I recently cleaned out my valve covers to add new Fel-Pro VS50789R gaskets.
Welcome Juke. Two questions: 1. how the hell did you get the rocker covers that clean? 2. how come you managed to figure out how to upload photos so quickly ?
The fact that the immobilised car only requests key fob, and not eka, suggests that the EKA is disabled in the BeCM (although the EKA can still be used, nonetheless, as you did). That's a good thing - it would still be handy to use the nanocom to review the settings, see if they did anything else funky
Brilliant !! Good work.
