It is a car to love

Don't worry. Yes, it is problematic, but keep an eye for problems and fix them when they appear, thats all. I drove mine all the time without a problem, I had to stop only once when the belt got off because bolt was broken due to hard hit somewhere. No lights are the thing.
Just for the peace of your mind, I drove all summer with timings off, Old rear air suspension air bag, with faulty DSC Module, and somewhat scwred up tranny. Got back from sea trip fixed everything, no problem.
