Question

I can hear a slight 'clonk' noise and it seems to be coming from the front drivers wheel. It only seems to happen when pulling away.

Any ideas?

Question

I haven't noticed it in reverse!

I'll try different permutations tonight!

What were you thinking?

could be a loose suspension bolt somewhere, and just clonks when taking up strain of pulling off.
