As above when driving over bumps on the drivers side front wheel. Completely stops if I put even the slightest brake pedal presure. Could this be the pads rattling in the caliper and if so how can it be cured? Thanks.

Are you running standard discs or grooved/dimpled/drilled ones? If the latter, a small amount noise is relatively common.
Can be minimised though. Make sure the pads have the antisqueal liners and springs installed, and also that there's a little bit of copper grease in between them and the caliper bodies.

Performance pads have more tollerances mainly because they get hotter and expand therefore when they are not being hammered you get all sorts of noises.
