i presume its a tdci so a few things to watch out for,

aux belt and tensioner - if worn this will make a drumming noise when at tickover

injectors - these can loose there code leading to poor running and noise

egr valve - these can become clogged and then start to stick open or closed,they can be cleaned here is a link - http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=EGR_Valve_and_Inlet_Manifold_Clearout_TDCi

dual mass flywheel - any noise from the clutch area or when the clutch pedal is pressed could be the start of a failing dmf
