Had an MOT and the only advisory was passenger ball joint, I have got a slight knocking so will be replacing these on both sides, while I am down there I thought I may as well replace some other bits so I was just wondering what else I should be replacing to sharpen everything up again

Ball Joints
Track rod ends?
Drop links?

I have already got some Rich_W's roller bearing wishbone bushes on there from the previous owner so they have been re-greased.

*edit; springs and shocks have already been upgraded, koni adjustable shocks and eibach 30mm springs so these are fine

Thats a major black hole mate.

Shocks, top mounts, balljoints, drop links... Then you have to consider the rear too.

Good call on replacing the droplinks. i replaced mine the other day, and whilst they looked alright, with not much wear, replacing them did get rid of my knocking noise.

i've just solved the same problem, when on the MOT they advised ball joint it was actually the hub ovaling, worth changing ball joint too tho as there cheap. i also changed my arb drop links as thats where the knocking was comeing from.

Had a quote from peugeot for wishbones a couple of weeks ago.

IIRC they were around £111 +VAT each for the wishbone including bushes but the ball joints came seperately at about £35 +VAT each.
