Obviously as a manual it can't "kick down" a gear unless you do it yourself,so the only thing I can think of is the turbo boosting taking effect[I'm sure others of greater knowledge will have a better idea]

Much depends on what you've been used to until now. The DTi is quite linear in terms of its boost and in standard trim is pretty mild. Yes, you can feel a little shove but that's about it. It's possible yours has been remapped at some point which might explain it. Go somewhere safe, put it in 2nd gear, about 1800rpm, pedal to the floor, does the front end lift, the back end squat and you grab a gear fairly promptly, if so it's not in standard trim.
