Rough idle on startup.

Evening all. My 2.8 drops revs when I first start it up. Some times it will cut out other times it just dips in revs and goes normal for a while. Once it's warm it's fine. Any idea where to start? Here's a video recording of the issue. http://sendvid.com/saabf1vs?secret=eabb4934-42b6-46e7-ac56-d80dd...

Poor Idling when starting car.

Afternoon all. My 2.8 is hunting when I first start the car. Once it's warm it's fine. Any ideas why this happens? I have no error codes stored on the car. Thanks

Re: Electric window switch problems

I have the same issue. The plastic clips which the switch sits into are part of the centre console. One side has snapped off the passenger side of mine. Not had time to investigate a fix yet, I have a spare centre console which I can swap out for mine but don't want to go down that route just yet.

Afternoon. I've picked up another 1997 Z3 1.9. This needs little work to get it up to scratch but the main issue at the moment is the airbag light is on and the horn doesn't work. I have a feeling these may be linked so any suggestions please? I've checked the fuses and they are OK. Thanks
