That can be so many things. Many cars are like this and at least it is moving

Give it a 5minute period of Citeraobics first. Then if no record look at a fluid change and filter cleaning. That starts your process of elimination at least.

Being slow to rise is in many ways better than one that rises straight away as it suggests the sphere's have a decent charge of nitrogen within them.

Is your car an Exclusive? If so it will be fitted with Hydractive suspension which means it has two extra sphere's putting an addition demand on the pump.
