Thanks for the reply DZFord. Yeah I was kind of hesitant to believe that it may be the knocking sensor. I was actually thinking of giving 'seafoam' a go as I've seen from YouTube channels such as chrisfix that it can actually remove any carbon deposits off of the pistons. I've also contacted my local ford and they said that they will take a look at it. The guy I spoke to sounded surprised as allegedly he had never heard of this happening to these cars.

Cheers!
