Default Laser KF Problems

Hey all, i have a Laser KF 1991 auto.

Overall the car runs well apart from a few really annoying problems.

When the car is in drive and stopped, it idles rough. If i'm in park etc it idles nice and smooth. I did a search and checked out the simimlar threads and engine mounts seem to be a common problem which i will be getting checked out. The strange thing with my case, i didn't see in the others however is, that when i turn on my headlights it idles even rougher. Is this a side effect showing that it may also be something electrial based?

Also sometimes within the 1st minute or so of starting the car it will sometimes die out. It will however start straight away again and has never done it after driving for a few minutes. I have just figured that since its an older car it may just need to warm up but have also wondered if its connected to the first problem.

I'm a complete car newb and have no mechanical sense what so ever so will be taking it to a mechanic. I would just like some advise on what it could be and an idea on the cost etc.
