Thank you so much for your suggestions.
I've already known Paul Danner ( Scannerdanner ) and bought the e-book from him, too. He is the best of the best who tells me how to be a good mechanic ( British )/technician ( American ), not to be a part changer. Father requires the same goal, too. With his permission, I printed them out to be a paper book ( I could print out two papers at a time, managed finally to print them out all), which allows me to read freely any time offline. I got it 2 years ago. And it has helped me a lot when dealing with circuits. I always watch his free videos on Youtube and have heard of the paid videos open to TAIWAN. So at our garage I'm the one who knows about diagnosing circuit to help father to deal with modern vehicle.
I joined a RR forum where it provides a lot of information such as service manuals. And someone sent me a lot of information so that I can read it offline. With the information, we replaced the 4 engine mounting supports ( the mounting support were created new here, not by ours ) and so on... In spite of that, I would hate to pull the RR's engine up (it's been overheated slightly twice so far --- amazing it's still strong enough to work. I must say that as I have been none modern British vehicle such as RR, Jaguar and Morris, which met the same situation and work fine.) it's too heavy and we don't have enough staff to do it. I did remove a head once on a older V8 engine RR, which has much room to do so. In fact, without the information father still can work on none modern RR engine and AT. He is so brave. That is the way he is. About me, I need information to figure out.
About the RR we have been working on with a long hot start, we did check each part of fuel delivery system according to the fuel diagram. We also checked the ETC , cold start injector, all fine. We checked the fuel pressure according to the spec. We went to the distributor. We disassembled and assembled the fuel distributor more than four time with two repair diaphragms father created and O rings and two new repair kits bought from US. At the first two, it worked fine for a couple of days and then stumbled with rough idle --- some wet spark plugs, the last two, it became working fine. But the car owner is not happy with that. So father got a Benz part to replace it in order to proof he was right. Father is right this time.

I've done the reading on AA1CAR. I finished it many years ago before I knew Paul Danner. The AA1CAR gave the theories and I was unable to apple them all while having a problem. You know that reading is one thing and diagnosing is another thing. But I have to say AA1CAR gave me to the opportunity to know more about mechanical vehicles.

What I still keep reading is I just want to take it in more deeply with 15 years working experience I have now. This can make me go on the right direction.
David, thank you for the information and videos, again.

I'm not sure how much you are into the modern electronics or whether you are your father focus more on the older vehicles. Apologies if you have mentioned this before and I have missed it.
I find there are some really interesting videos on Youtube that you may find interesting if you have not already found them. For electronic diagnosis there are some excellent videos from "Scannerdanner" both his classroom lectures and practical hand on repairs, warts and all. I purchased his on-line book as well after watching his videos. He manages to get the right balance (for me) between not being too simple or too complex and there are lots of tips to avoid damaging or unnecessarily replacing costly electronic components. There are dozens of free videos and some that you pay for. Unfortunately the latter aren't available yet in Thailand, I'm not sure about Taiwan.

For mechanical videos, John Twist has some handy tips on the MGB engine etc that are relevant to the Landcrab of course;

and I also find Youtube quite handy for generic issues, as long as you are carefeful.

I still keep reading automotive books to improve my basic knowledge, most of them in English.
Many thanks.
