   Hi,
   When driving in 1st and 2nd there is a whining noise when i let off the throttle , which doesnt sound normal, also when idle there is a noise as if a bearing is loose somwhere, like a crunch noise.... Also when braking the wheels shakes violently if it is from like 60mph, the wheel also shakes when doing about 60-70 and then goes away at like 80. IT also knocks when turning, is this all the driveshaft? or is it other things? =/
   
   Cheers

   It's does sound like the driveshaft has gone mate, specially if it knocks on corners, as for the whining noise that could be the clutch release bearing, does the noise go away when you depress the clutch?

   Forgot to add the vibration under braking could be a warped brake disc, these can cause bad vibrations if warped enough

   The shaking under braking will be warped disks, and the shaking at at 60-70 possibly tracking

   have you checked your gaitors? if the grease has come out itl wear the cv joints, also it will whine very loud under-accleration, loud groaning noise when at mid-high speeds sometimes can come unbearable
