I'm not the most mechanically minded person so you'll have to bear with me me, but if it was a bearing would it not be a constant sound?
It doesn't make the sound often and is only when getting up to temp I believe. Plus the sound goes by either dipping the clutch or coming off the accelerator.

A bearing does make a droning sound. When it was going in my Focus is annoyed the hell out of me. I believe it did quieten down when I was off the loud pedal.

So it would be a constant sound then? Sorry if I'm just repeating things I like to know 100%
At the minute the sound is not constant and 9/10 I can drive the car and you will not hear it at all. When I do hear the sound it is for a second or two at most.
I think the best thing might be for me to get the ol' Ford Monkeys too look at it and see what they say. If it is the bearing anyone care to guestimate for me how much that would be to fix?

Indeed you could take a wheel bearing as a prime example, that drones like a good un.
My thinking was the oil in the box from cold could be too thin, causing the noise to go when it warms up. Plus with the clutch being pressed and the gearbox being disconnected this all kinda adds up somewhat.

If a bearing is on its way out it wont be all of the time I dont think. However, it will get worse
Best get a monkey to check it out

Okies cool.
Cheers for all the help guys, will get it looked at as soon as I can. I may even update as to what the problem was if I remember or anyone is interested lol.
I'll let you know shortly about the badge too Pete
Posting that is asking for trouble too

I believe the moosing is solved by a slightly altered intake pipe design, referred to as an "anti moosing pipe".
Mondeo Wiki page
The description of the problem is brief, but to the point.

Cheers. I see you're in Durham. I don't mind coming to get it, saves posting
Plus it'll get lost anyway unless the RM get more money
Is this 'My ST220 is broken' day?
I don't have to drive mine today, so this may continue tomorrow
Sounds like you have a moosing problem, take a look over on fordmondeo.org in the wiki for the way to solve it, requires a new intake pipe or something along those lines.

I doubt anyone cares but one new Idle Control Valve later and the issue has been fixed. Bye-Bye Moose
