Not the brakes Sirrie, its the transmission winding up (controlled by the VC). All part of the design it is. No problem here.

... Unless it does it so bad that the engine struggles, it is likely just to be normal, as occurs in any car with a VCU. It is covered in the manual and has been covered here previously, if you care to search through the forum.

Cheers

Do a 'tippex test' on your VCU just in case it is knackered.
