RRC takes 10 seconds to start when cold
My 1991 RRC takes about 10 seconds to start when its cold, but if its been running and I turn it off and restart, it fires right up. The top half has been rebuilt and she runs flawlessly. I asked my mobile mechanic what it could be, and he says "its a Range Rover". Is he right? Could it be the timing?

That is kind of odd... It should fire right up under any circumstances. Whats the condition of your fuel pump and fuel filter? How cold is it where you are at? You can try leaving the key in the II (on) position for a a few seconds to allow the pump to "prime" the injectors. I do that to all my cars mainly as a courtesy to their electronics. I always hate it when my friends imidiatley put the key to III (start) without letting things boot up.

I think Scott may have something there. If the filter is dirty then it will take more pressure and tim efor enough fuel to get to the motor to run. If it has been a while just replace the filter and see what happens, they are cheap enough.
Other than that, there is a possibility that the cold is affecting the coil and once it is warm it does not have the issue. Usually it goes the other way though with heat being the culprit rather than the cold, an old battery may vause some of it too since when it is colder it takes more for the battery to work.
