Could be an o ring or seal inside the rack which may be geting worn or brittle. Any strange noises at all? any leaks?

I have no funny noises or leaks
it just judders for first few minutes.
sorry cant describe it any better

Get it booked in for the rack to be looked at, could be costly if left.

Any worn seals would be causing leaks and you would see evidence of this by a drop in the reservoir. The fluid is alot thicker from cold and harder for the pump to pump it round the system especially if the pump is lazy, it can cause the pump to stall in rotation, have checked your belt tension

Sounds like a worn steering pump
