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.

I've recently bought a 1997 Audi S8. The car has 109k on it and an excellent service history. In fact, it's never gone more than 6k miles between oil services. There is also evidence of two gearbox services...
