Sarah,

Manchester UK, not Manchester NH?
smart 450 (pre 2008) with engine replacement?

If you have to rev it a lot before it starts moving in first, then it's probably a clutch adjustment or faulty clutch servo. If the engine has been replaced, the workshop may have put a new clutch plate in, but didn't adjust it correctly.
