'New' 940 - some probs, but she`ll be worth it... 900

You know what it`s like... driving along, you see it... with a "For Sale" sticker... and you have to have it :o)

One jet black 940 SE, REALLY clean and straight, tan leather, all electrics, auto - love at first sight. Beat the cr*p out of the guy (he was asking £900 ONO) and got it for £475. Peanuts!

Well... heres the list of my fun to come:

1) The electric sunroof plays up. Sometimes it doesn`t shut completely, leaving a gap about an inch wide. When I work the switch, theres a clicking noise from under the plastic panel in front of the sunroof which I believe house the mechanism. It also sticks sporadically when tilted. Any ideas?

2) Starting when warm, it needs to be held on the throttle at about 1000rpm for 30 secdonds, or it just stalls. Once it`s been held at a 1000 for 30 secs, it ticks over fine, albiet a tad slow (500 - 600 rpm in park) Intend fitting new plugs/oil/filters tommorrow, but is this pointing at anything else? (Engines the 2litre fuel injection)

3) Dipped beam is fine, dim dip fine, sidelights fine, fog lights fine, switch to full beam and everything goes out except dim-dip and sidelights. Suspecting a relay - any other ideas?

Cheers
