Flickering dash lights, radio and sat screen at first start

Hi guys, on a cold start, I momentarily loose radio and sat screen and parking brake light illuminates at the same time as the other faults occurring, I'm guessing something loose but where to start looking? Strange thing is it only does it when accelerating from cold start

Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks for the reply, really!! Wow this car will be virtually brand new within a year with all the things that have gone on it since purchase
Sounds expensive, any indication of likely cost?
Again thank you for your help
Cheers Andy

I paid £120 for a new denso Alternator took me around 40mins to fit 30 of them trying to get the fan off. The only issue is they tend to take the Battery out with them so you may need a new one of them as well Stephen
