Look for something like the Wheeler Fat wrench, less than £100
Edit; Draper do one for about £55

I use the above on the rare occasion I need to redo rings or mounts. Under £20.
No and it won't quite do the wheel nuts on your Land Rover either, but would probably be fine for the Mini or the small French cars ....

This is the one I use 1-8 NM
Bought one of these a few years ago - in fact when I say bought… I got some vouchers for buying a pair of Pirelli tyres so it cost me nowt 
Recently bought this one from Amazon.
Seems to do the job just fine

A second for Wera torque tools, they're not cheap but they're very good, and they're mechanical.
I have a range of them in my workshop and I'm getting the 1.2-3nm one in duplicate for the range bag too.

You can usually pick up a MHH Engineering/Torqueleader/Gedore branded torque driver on ebay for £50 or less.
They got rebranded over time and then acquired by Gedore, but I'm pretty sure even some of the latest ones are still made in Guildford. I've been told these are/were considered the industry standard.
The ones that usually stick around for a while are "overpriced" or are male square drive, rather than female hex, but you can get lucky sometimes. You'll usually need to get a set of bits as they're rarely a full set and a maybe a generic T-handle with a male 1/4" square drive that connects at the back for better grip.
Be careful to buy a 1-5Nm one and not one of the cNm range ones. "Quickset" also doesn't meant they're adjustable - it means they're quick to set and calibrate at a fixed torque.
