a couple of times when exiting a slow corner, it would barely accelerate at all, as if I was in too high a gear (maybe I was).. it took a while for revs to build and then it accelerated fine. Has anyone else experienced this?
The other concern is that on a couple of occasions I was going around left-hand bends leaving roundabouts. I was driving quite hard with the car rolling a fair bit and could hear a grinding or scraping noise which was quite loud. It was like the sound you hear from the disc brakes on a motorcycle when you push it around, only much louder.
Oh yes, there's also a squeal from under the bonnet. It increases a little with revs then disappears. Any ideas?

It's a diesel, for it to pull out of a corner, you need to drop down the box & so increase the revs, keep the turbo spinning - it'll help - don't worry, you'll get used to it.
Regarding the grinding as you take a hard left, might be worth checking the tyre pressures, that rolling could be low psi & the grinding might be the rims. Also, note it is a tall van so it will be forced to roll if you take it too hard. It might also be that the psi is fine & you were taking the corner a tad too hard - harder than the tyre walls can cope with.
The squeal is probably just a belt not tensioned enough.
changing from a petrol to a diesel will initially feel like pushing a turd up a hill with a piece of rope however, once you get used to the nuances you'll be amazed at just how hard it can be driven.
