In a nutshell, I'm illiterate with cars.
This site has really made me wanna learn about my car, and how it works and how to fix it. I have a 95 Disco, and I absolutely love it.
Where and how do I start working on it, how far is too far before i let the experts do it, and what are some basic recomendations?

I would suggest getting a workshop manual or Haynes manual at least. Start by doing routine maintaince and work you way up. Here's a good site with a maintaince schedule. If you feel uncertain or don't know what you are doing ask for help, you don't want to make the problem worse or you rig unsafe.

A lot of depends on if you can have your Rover out of commission for a while. You will always take longer if you are learning as you go. If you take 2 days to change the oil you may want to get help:-)
