CV Joints
 
Either my offiside CV joint is on the way out, or someone is knocking to come in from under the car when I turn left at low speed over bumps :-)
So:
Is this a home job to change them?
Do I do just the outboard ones or the one tranmission end aswell?
what sort of cash are they, and where do people get them from ? (new? used from A8? )

Knocking when turning smacks of control arms. Get a grip of each control arm and see if there is any movement at either end.
A second hand half shaft from A8Parts will be cheaper than new.

By control arm which part of the myriad of suspension parts do you mean? do you have a pic?
I was going with CV joint as I had an MOT last week, and thought can't be a ball joint end, surely, as they would have picked that up!?
Maybe not..will investigate
