It was the metal brake pads clips, ever so slightly touching the disc..

Hope this helps |

I'm thinking about "upgrading" my 2006 sport this year.
I only do about 5k a year, hence an excuse for a 2014+ 5.0 supercharged.
I'd like to think my car is worth £7k  ... |

Very rare for factory clear to start peeling on something this new.
Definitely indicated to a previous repair.
Have your local smart repairier respray the bumper corner, it'll only be £150-200 |

Without doubt you should see this through, I can't see any other way than pulling the engine out.
My guess would be the big or small end bearing has failed, due to poor oil and contamination. |

If my understanding is right, you've replaced the injector and ruled that out it's not diesel knock.
It must be internal, big or small end. Possibly a worn cam, although I've never heard of this.
