Details on how a Rover engine operates
Had trouble finding what I'm looking for and bet the forum can help (as usual). Is there a detailed breakdown of exactly how the engine operates? Ideally I'd like to make notes for how my '04 D2 4.6L V8 operates from start to finish.
For example: from turning the key a step by step guide of what each part does and where that's located in the vehicle. How the oil, coolant, air, radiator, pistons, transmission, driveline, and flux capacitor all work together in tandem to do what we need them to do.
I have zero experience in working on cars and am excited to learn. Although this is my first rover I know it's not the last!

Maybe someone knows of a cliffs notes version online

All But Flux Capacitor
Rave has all/most of the info in the Workshop Manuals & Electrical Circuit Diagrams but requires some jumping around to put into story form. Helps to have had experience with other technical manuals and once a PDF file is open the search function is useful.
D2 Workshop Manual has a description/operation at the beginning of most sections and probably where you'd like to begin. Enjoy.

The RAVE manual is a good place for things specific to the Discovery, but it's more suited to troubleshooting and maintenance or repair. It sounds like you'd benefit more from a basic explanation of internal combustion engines. If you don't understand how a lawn mower operates, there's not much point in focusing on Buick or Rover specifics.
Start with the basics of the 4-stroke "Otto" cycle. Check out "volumetric efficiency." Learn about multiple cylinder configurations (twins, fours, sixes, and V8's). Look at the different valve arrangements (side-valve, overhead valve, overhead cam, etc.). Study air/fuel mixtures, stoichiometric ratio, carburettor vs. fuel injection. Study ignition, learn how spark plugs and "points" work, a distributor, and then electronic ignition. Then learn about wet sump lubrication, pressurized cooling with coolant to air heat exchangers (radiator), and then gearboxes, automatic transmissions, transfercases, driveshafts, ring and pinion gears, differentials, axles....
