With head under bonnet you can hear a slight tapping noise and more if you pull the acclerator
Don't normally hear it

Any ideas?

Sorry pull the accelerator cable under the bonnet instead of pushing the accelerator pedal

Mine has been back to ford twice and both times they fitted new auxillary belts and idle pulley and it still makes a noise from somewhere plus ticking noise.

I read somewhere earlier the ticking noise can be the injectors, apparently they get loud when the engines warm.
