Thanks for the reply

Why would that cause these problems ?

A dodgy battery can throw up all of problems mate if your worried already stay clear of it there's plenty for sale they can be a money pit bud.

A quick search on here wil answer that question thoroughly.....

When you say foot down and bang..
Do you pause slightly after putting it in D before accellerating, or just pull back and foot down??

Could be a sluggish gearbox operation or insufficient fluid pressure.
eitherway hard to remotely diagnose.
