At what stage should I use a Film Pack preset? I ask as I seem to recall reading somewhere that the FP preset resets any adjustments already made to the image.
Thanks

Film Pack presets change things in a selection of the available tools. This means that these “things” overwrite whatever they encounter.
Example: Settings changed by the “Cappucino” Film Pack preset
Best Practice
You can undo the application of a preset if it doesn’t look right. Another strategy might be to create a virtual copy of your image and then try presets (what I usually do).
All the FilmPack 6 presets that @mwsilvers and I created are partial presets and, as @platypus notes will only affect the settings involved. However, if you have used that setting before, expect it to get overwritten.
As @Egregius says, it is far better to create a virtual copy before experimenting with anything, preset or not.
Thank you.
