Just a FINAL update on this, my symptoms got worse ( knocking ) and this morning I finally removed the nearside front strut and replaced the top strut bearing and the rubber spring seat ( Volvo ) which were obviously tired and worn.

Not a bad job at all to do and seeing as I had a pair of new drop links I fitted these as well.

The car is as quiet as a lamb now so worth the effort.

The problem was definitely top mounts and not the drop link.

Thanks to all of those that offered advice. Much appreciated
