get the wheel baring done for a start maybe something to do with that plus if you leave it too long it will weld itself to your axle and litterally snap off

sounds like its a CV joint mate. they arent too expensive to buy really.

It would be well worth spanner checking all the major components on the front end. I had a very odd noise on over run on my car and couln't find the problem until I spanner checked the front end. I found that the gearbox mount (car side) to be slightly lose. You couldn't move it by hand but it was lose.

look at your discs, also check to see if a suspension coil has snaped. i had a bollocksed anti roll bar once that was tapping the drive shaft.

Sounds like cv to me too.
Does it go if you put the clutch in?
