I have an odd faint ticking noise start, when under throttle . It sounds like its around the drivers front wheel. If I coast or come off the throttle, it disappears. The sound only makes an appearance when the car is up to temperature. It's baffling me!

Any ideas?

I had a similar thing with mine, turned very quickly into a grinding noise and turned out to be the wheel bearing.

Not saying that is the case but just a possibility.

That was my initial thought, but i'd expect to hear it all the time, not just under power.

There is a charcoal filter in the engine bay which can cause a ticking noise. You can remove it fairly easily - I did. a quick google search should come up with a guide.
