As this has happened when joining fast moving traffic, this has left me no choice but to floor it. The engine is warmed up when this happens.
This doesn't sound right.
There will always be acertain amount of lag when pulling away, especially with a heavy diesel automatic, but it should progressively increase in speed.

As Powers1 said, the only real way to satisfy yourself is to try another car.
There have been a couple of reports here about issues with gearbox software, this may be worth looking into.
