Default '95 (6N) 1.4CL Polo advice needed please

Hey all,

Last week I bought a 106'000 mile 1.4CL 6N Polo and need some advice please.

1] When I start the car from cold, as in first thing in the morning, the car struggles to turn over, as if the battery is running out of charge. However, once the car is started it will then start fine all day. The problem doesnt happen if it isnt cold in the morning though.

2] When I accelerate in 1st and press the clutch to engage 2nd the revs return straight down to 500rpm and it has been known to stall. If I go from speed and decelerate and then press the clutch in before stopping the car will either stall or the revs will drop to 500rpm, then hover back to about 900 before dropping back to about 700rpm then back up to 900 before settling down.

Does anyone have any ideas what might solve these issues?
I dont think the choke is sticking as the fuel economy is very good, I havent had chance to take the dizzy off to have a look in it but I will do so Tuesday. Im just getting worried because stalling as you roll upto a busy T-junction or roundabout isnt that much fun

TIA
