Right, so recently started to get a knocking coming from the front of the corsa. Sounds like a ticking sort of knocking, only happens when i accelerate, if i lift off and just coast it doesn't seem to happen, also speeds up as the car does. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side. I figured it would the CV joint, so changed the outer, still there, so would i be right in saying it's the inner?
Just wanting some opinions on potential things to check as i can't be asked for the trial and error replacement of parts

Check all the bolts are tight and in place on your engine mounts, if its an xe on split shafts check the bracket is still attached to the block that supports the split shaft

Worth trying the inner CV although CV noise is normally off load and goes away on, opposite to what you have. That's the most likely. Other stuff wouldn't really depend on load.
