Don't have any of these engine related problems with a glider! So much to go wrong in an aeroplane with an engine.........I jest really!
But if you have not started your PPL yet why not start with a few gliding lessons to get a taste for engineless flight. You might even like it, and what's more it will give you skills that can only enhance your PPL training.
Remember in a glider you only get one chance of a landing
