Why does my car judder in the mornings

When I start my Peugeot 207 in the mornings it judders when I put my foot on the accelerator. It lasts for about 30 seconds and then clears up. Any idea what's going on?

You don't say if it's a petrol or a diesel. If a petrol then probably a fault with the cold running system, but could also be a problem with the engine oil not circulating properly, or being the wrong grade. Change it for the right grade.
