I guess there could be other gubbins as well, or just the way
valves/pressure relief dubries that are commanded open by the ECU at
switch on then close a number of seconds later. The repeated slow
switching on/off would ensure a good few cycles of that to rid the
system of air.

My book says "approximately halfway", I called it 50%... However it's
not just Land Rover, I don't think any car maker truely knows how
*all* parts of a car they make work in reality.

Curiosly it's the sort of default "how to start a motor that has no
faults but refuses to start normally" routine. Do things slowly, push
the accelorator fully and crank until it goes, easing up the pedal as
the engine sorts itself out, normally in clouds of smoke.
