OK I'm gonna replace one driveshaft this afternoon. But, if the CV knocking noise is worse when turning left does this mean one side or the other is to blame? I know the n/s outer CV is shot anyway but I'm starting to have my doubts about the other side too

Oh dear, looks like both need replacing then. I'll get one done and take it for a spin.

Success - replaced n/s shaft and running much better. I'd happily turn left now even round the tightest of corners! I still get a noise though, this time from the other side - what's the way of telling o/s CV joint failure from o/s wheel bearing failure? Confused
