Here's one for you:-

When I first set off in the morning, after putting the car into D or R, just releasing the handbrake and footbrake is enough for the car to move (auto transmission creep).

Lately Ive noticed however that it doesnt move and pressing the throttle a little bit just envokes a judder before it finally gets its act together and things are normal again. At first I thought it may be the handbrake binding so I left it off last night but it still did the judder this morning.

Chances are if I take it to the dealer, the very fact that it only does it first thing in the morning probably means they wont find a problem.

Any ideas?

I think you might have to warm it up for a bit. In normal operating temperatures you can drive the car right away. In colder climate it's recommended that you warm the car up for a minute or so before driving off (if it's really really cold then 2 or 3 minutes).
