Default Noise at startup

I have this noise when the car starts, like a sort of repeating knocking/tonking noise for like 2 seconds then u dont hear it again, until the next time u start it.

Any idea wat it could be?

Might be worth checking to see if the exhaust/manifold is touching the sump at startup. I had this happen to my AU annoyed the heck out me, only ever happened at start up and not all start ups. Turns out when it had heat in it, it moved away from the sump. Might be something completely different to this but if it helps relieve some frustration then its worth it.

I actually havent noticed if it does it on warm start up. I should keep a listen out to see if it does or not

as a mech i can be sure that noise your hearing is your crank bearings not getting oil pressure as soon as they should, with ford engines make sure you use a good quality oil filter preferably genuine as they have a valve in them that prevents oil loss out of filter when engine is off. my 6cyl au did the same thing when i bought it and it had one of those cheap and nasty oil filters on it, changed oil and put genuine filter on and no more probs cheers..

As this thread is 14 years old, and in an AU forum, you may do better asking in the FG forum.
