Ford Focus 1.6 petrol - Ticking Injectors - Roly93

I have a 9 month old petrol 1.6 Focus.

Pretty happy with the car in general but compared to our old 1.6 Focus, the intectors seem to be very tickey especially when the engine is hot.

Is this a characteristic of these engines now, as they sound like tappets actually, but I'm sure the noise is just the injectors.
