Thanks for the suggestions. Definitely sounds like Pinking rather than a knock.
It happened all last week during the Haggis Hunt II with a mixture of different brands of petrol (Esso, Jet, BP, Murco etc. ) only one tank of Asda fuel. I checked the plug gaps this evening and they were about 2.5mm. I reduced this to the 1.3mm stated in the Haynes manual. Then drove it from cold in cooled air. It still pinks. Any more ideas?

I've noticed my 2.0 Mondeo pinking the last few weeks. It's now back to a standard engine spec so shouldn't be due to that.
