Give it time to warm up also and check your oil level.
Yep, oil level was a little bit low! I topped off the oil and took the car for an extended drive and it sounds a lot better now. Still a slight clicking but basically the same as it has for the four years I've owned it. The engine feels smooth at idle and revs hard up to redline.

In other good news no more oil dripping from the IMS/RMS!
