Mondeo Mk4 2007 Petrol 1.6 limp mode when cold

So recently I've been having an issue when starting in the morning. The car starts fine, then goes into limp mode as I drive away under acceleration, I hear 3 or 4 loud metal tings from the front left side, which I'm guessing is a solenoid of some type, then the engine sounds very uneven, and won't accelerate well. The check engine light flashes for a short period. (limp mode) rpm appears stable, it just sounds like something is knocking in the engine.

 I'm only guessing it's misfiring. After 5 mins or so it evens out and is fine for the rest of the day. Took it to a local garage and they said no codes were appearing. I've had the battery replaced since this started as it was pretty knackered and hoped that would sort it but it still goes on. Part of the problem I have is by the time I get to a garage it's fine and no codes mean they can't even guess.

Any ideas?
