The Codicil cross-refers to the original Will and gives details of the amendments or additions you want to make to it. The Codicil must then be executed in the same way as for the Will i.e. signed with two witnesses (although the witnesses do not need to be the same people as the witnesses on the Will).

If executed correctly, a codicil is simply an amendment to the original will and therefor in essence becomes part of the original will. So, there is really no "will overriding a codicil" as they are in essence one and the same.

You cannot amend your will after it's been signed and witnessed. The only way you can change a will is by making an official alteration called a codicil. You must sign a codicil and get it witnessed in the same way as witnessing a will. There's no limit on how many codicils you can add to a will.
