I take it this is an Auto? And still under warranty?

Apart from checking engine & transmission oil level I don't think there is much you should do. Get it down to the Ford dealer.

Aprilia, no it's not auto,whichn is suprisesing I can only assume that the clutch/drive is some kind of fly by wire system,the car is out of warrenty it is over 3 years old and is ex mobility hence low milage.

The throttle could by fly-by-wire (not sure on this model) and if so the clutch pedal will have a position sensor whch if faulty I guess could effect the throttle to the extent that it may rev when in neutral and not when you depress the clutch.

Ford dealer as Aprilia says.
