Rover "chugs" a little in 3rd
I have noticed that when I am driving around town in 3rd, it feels like it is chugging along like a train (hope that makes sense). It is slight but still a little worrysome. I am showing some codes to the effect of a vaccum leak and/ or oxygen sensors but don't know that is the prob. Any help would be appreciated.

Haven't tuned it up again since I bought it last year. 126,000 or so miles and no, I don't feel anything unless it is just in third. (btw: it had 76,000 miles on it when it had its last tune up) Still ome wires and honestly Im not sure what plugs. I plan on replacing these soon.
It sounds like you need a good old fashioned tune up.
You have put 50k on those plugs so they are worn out, and the wires are definetly worn out.
I am betting that a good tune up will make your "chugging" and O2 problems go away.

Hopefully you're right. So far this truck has been a gem so I'm just waiting for something to blow up. I almost lost the tranny and transfer case with a ds failure but it didn't shatter on the interstate... waited until it was being loaded onto a flatbed truck. I have a perpetual bad feeling after buying the first truck I test drove... Let me ask you all another question, what would you guess an intermentant SRS light means. I don't want to take it to the dealer and I don't mind the airbags not working, it gives me a rush to know I could wreck and not have the proper saftey equip!! The only thing I'm worried about is the thing exploding in my face after a hard bump or some such... any thoughts?
Do like OKDisco said, and then if that cheaks out then clean your seat belt latches.
There is a electric switch in there and when it gets dirty it can set off the SRS light.
They get dirty from not being used, so if you almost never carry a front seat passenger then the contacts inside the latch will get dirty and set off the SRS light.
Buckle and unbuckle the pass seat belt 6-8 times.
Also have your battery and alternator tested.
