Default Now What Have I Done?

Grief stricken over my Nigel's blown head gasket, I did what I thought any sane Land Rover Discovery 2 enthusiast would do.
I bought another one!
Meet Winston! 2001 SE Dual sunroofs (ack!) ARB front bumper guard, rear ladder.
Needs work, but runs and drives! Tags good for 2 years! Howlin' gear noise though.
Winston, my 2001 SE in beautiful green w/ tan interior.

Ok, so it was $1500. The SRS light is on. Neither the SES or 3 amigos are on. I find this discomforting because they are always on in Nigel. My code reader read: P0132, P0134, P0422, P0424. Nigel never had these codes.
This vehicle is from GA. Better look underneath...
Ain't nuttin' I cain't fix wid enuff time 'n money...

Seems reasonable to me. Never can have to many spare parts.

Well, first thing, I must swap wheels and tires with Nigel. He has a new set of Michelins, while Winston has 4 different brands (though the size is the same). The ST500 all season cracks me up! (That's a trailer tire folks). I will then drive it to see if it runs smoother and has less noise.
I did a walk around and made a list. Shall I bore you with the details? Haven't really scrutinized under the hood yet.

It gets much easier with two or more, now you can test/confirm issues with known good parts from the other one.
