My car (MT) has developed a loud knocking sound from the front drivers side, which gets faster at higher speeds. Does it most of the time but particularly bad when the engine is under load, either accelerating, going up even slight hills. Occurs whilst braking also. However - it goes away as soon as the clutch is pressed or gear put in neutral. I've checked over the brakes, wheel bearings and hubs, and the wheels are not buckled etc.
I've been told this may be a driveshaft fault, but any other opinions appreciated  -------------------- Facelift bumper-foglights-clear indicators, clear side repeaters, 16in O.Z alloys, stainless steel grill.

Is it possible worn or warped discs could cause this problem, bearing in mind the noise goes away altogether when the clutch is pressed or car is in neutral?

 if anyones interested lol it turns out the problem was worn discs which were not sitting flat to the recent new pads, but it sounded a lot more serious. New discs fitted and all ok except for some squeal from left side, have to re-check and copper grease again.
