Easier to set of in 2nd rather than 1st

I suppose there might be a fault with the car but I suspect that the part causing the problem is the nut behind the wheel.

Has anyone else driven the car?

Did they find it difficult to get away in 1st?

If yes = possible car fault.

If no = poor driving by you.

I've only been driving with my own car for about 3 weeks. I've realised my car stalls when setting off in 1st unless there are sufficient revs. But, on my way to work this morning I discovered it's easier and smoother to set off in
2nd and is less prone to stalling if there isn't much gas.

It's not quite what I expected and am I likely to cause any damage by doing this?

Then give it "sufficient revs"

Is it a diesel? You sound a bit like my boyfriend who is so proud of his diesel low-rev car that he doesn't use enough revs. Just give a bit more welly.
