Does anybody happen to know if there is a bulb-list that I can find for my 500sec?

So, my 500sec coupe seems to be having the reasonably common issue in older cars of window tight-spots.
You know, when the window mechanism gets to a certain position, the motor has to apply a lot more torque, and the window slows down, sometimes almost stopping. Once it gets past that position...

I recently bought (on impulse) a 500 SE for £700! car has tax and MOT and a full MB history....which the seller didn't mention! Though it's on 177k the car feels tight as a drum still.

Very strange thing happened today ..... Moved off from stationary and the engine cut out, totally, but only for less than a second, and then carried on as normal in it's usual serene manner. It's the first time it has happened. Is this the start of the ignition problem these have ?
