Interesting to read of your findings though on a different and more modern engine.

Mine was quite rattly, as if the timing wasn’t right. Since then, I have always connected a spare battery in parallel before disconnecting the main one.

Interesting, a friend of mine was advised to do just the same when he changed his MINI one but was given no reason why. Your experience would have put me off too.
