Hesitation when first starting up and pulling away

Had my Freelander HSE MY12 (manual box) now for a couple of weeks. Really pleased with the drive other than one issue. When I first start up and pull away, the car is very hesitant and seems to struggle for a couple of seconds then suddenly picks up and pulls away. Only happens with first pull away after starting, all is well after that. Any ideas anyone?

Car is just over 12 months old, i have had it for 2 weeks, but as you say, it looks like it may be a return to the dealer.

Quick update and something in my head that I may have read on here before somewhere. I pulled away first thing today and was perfect - no hesitation at all. Racked my brains to see what I may have done differently and came to me that had not touched the brake pedal. Tried it again a bit later, no brake pedal - no hesitation. Just got back from taking SWMBO shopping and deliberately pressed the brake pedal before moving away after being parked and hesitation back!
No idea why this should be so, but as said earlier, something in my mind that this has been raised before.
Anyone have any recollection?
(Wife drove it for first time today and said she loves it - may have to hide the spare key fob!)
