Thanks for the time to respond.
I've had my diagnostic on it and the independent specialist had his on aswell, neither of them had any relevant faults. I'll have to look into the history on the filter. It was serviced later than usual as soon as I got the car, somewhere around the 85k, but better late than never 😂 genuine zf fluid. No maps or ecu changes, just the standard car.
Biggest annoyance to me is the fact that it doesn't always play up this way, for example, left for work this morning and it did it for the first 2 mins of driving, left work 10hrs later and didn't do it once, like I said before seems to be 50/50 on start up.
