Electical gremlins can bedevil you, but these sound like they MIGHT be things you could live with until you figured them out.

But what would really concern me is the fact that the check engine light came on while you were driving it. That tells me that the seller turned it off and hoped it wouldn't come back while someone was testing it. So he/she isn't being completely honest. The car will tell you why the light came on though. Look in the 700/900 FAQ for OBD dignostics codes. The LH 2.4 system on this 240 is the same as the one on the 740 and so are the codes.

I think LH 2.4 is pretty easy to understand and work on. And parts for those model years are abundant in the boneyards these days.
