SRS light
Is there a common reason that the SRS light stays on while driving... what could go wrong with the airbags? This seems odd to me but everyday is a new day with the rover.

from the shop manual:
SRS warning lamp
The SRS warning lamp illuminates for 5 seconds during system readiness check on starting the engine. The SRS warning lamp extinguishes for one second after the system readiness check is performed. If a fault is present the warning lamp then illuminates continuously. If no fault is present, the SRS warning lamp remains extinguished. If a system fault occurs in excess of two seconds after the readiness check has been completed, the SRS warning lamp illuminates for that ignition cycle. It remains illuminated for a minimum of 12 seconds ± 4 seconds for all fault conditions. The SRS warning lamp will only illuminate for low voltage concerns while the low voltage condition is present. If the low voltage condition is corrected, the SRS warning lamp extinguishes and the fault is recorded in the DCU's memory.

a few thoughts, if your clock spring has been broken this will cause the light to come on, otherwise a loose or faulty connection somewhere may cause it.
does your cruise control and horn work? if those both work your clock spring should be fine. I would check the connections, however be VERY CAREFUL while messing with the airbag system.

Once the light comes on, it won't go off and must be cleared with the proper scanner.
The light can come on because of low voltage, clock spring, bad seat belt connections or any of about 4 other faults that, here again, only a scanner can show you.

I think I would have to agree with Mike on this one 100%. Dealing with the SRS system should be done by the book, it is not something you should use guesswork on.
on my D1, once the problem was fixed the light went off, but I also knew what the problem was so I didn't need to check anything.

This is common on DII's.
Take the passenger side seat belt and buckle it and unbuckle it a dozen times or co.
Then start the truck, the light should be off.
The contacts in the buckle get dirty from lack of use and set off the light.
The other common culprit is a loose wire harness on the back of the seat belt pre-tensioner.
