What u after? CV boot, Joints?
One would asume joints...cv only stands for Constant Velosity.

As Fazza said you will only no what u need, What u do when u converted it?
I work in an Autospares and have millions of books to match up etc. So you should be able to go to any sort of car shop to match up if you dont no what you have.

I believe there M-Tech shafts, which would suggest I've got big block hubs I think.

Thats the only thing with buying a Corsa already done, you don't know what you have

Been trying to ring you mate but cant get through? ring me when you can? They are big block shafts and hubs so you will need old calibra/cav/astra 16v cv's. The only way to be sure though is to count the number of splines on the driveshaft. I was told they were big block ones! They were bigger than the standard 1.6 ones put it that way.

Also. Im still not adamant its the cv's making that one knock. I would be looking more at the top mounts and the tie bars. Might be worth stripping the front down and putting poly bushes in?

if bigblock shafts then yeah as above calbra/astra/cav cv joints are needed

if corsa 1.6 shafts then normal 1.6 corsa outer cv joints will fit

when does the car knock?

going round a corner full lock?
