It's one of the reasons I'm going for the ZF tune when I get my mods/tune done. Taking off from lights, intersection etc sometimes it's in second, sometimes in first - especially annoying turning right 100m from home each morning into a busy road - it either slowly piddles round the corner in 2nd or (a little bit more throttle) lurches back into first and screeches round the turn. The second issue - sounds similar to what happens to me when cold from a standstill with a decent amount of lock on the steering (eg - after reversing out of the drive and about to go forward)
