Hi all, i have a strange sound comeing from the front of my 2006 focus st, it's like a scrapeing/ clicking sound but only happens when you have started the car up,and drive a few yards, it's fine when driveing along normally, it's as if there is something switching itself on , theres no warning lights on and it doesn't drive any different,has anyone else come across this problem before thanks in advance.

Sounds like the abs doing a self check test, nothing to worry about.

Its the ESP/ABS test normally happens as you hit 15mph from startup

Thanks guys for the responses,so i take it as this being normal then,around 15 mph seems about right when this noise happens.
