Can anyone suggest anything - Seems that even whne she is warm I have a real slow pull away in first, gets better at about 5000rpm, 2nd 3rd etc are great.

Turning off the air conditioning solved my power problem in first gear.

IS there anything I can do generally to improve first gear, so my uptake is better.

Mind you, it will be a bit slow until the turbo kicks in. Rev it up to 3000 rpm before you apply clutch, then you've be rapid everytime.
