Have you checked the engine mounts? My old corrado engine used to lurch off the front mounting making a small but alarming dull sort of knock when I floored it, not sure what omega engine mounts are like but worth a peek?

Jack up the front of the car on the chasis rail so that the wheel is hanging just off the road, get a large pry bar or similar, place under the wheel and lever up against the spring. Does it clonk up and down? can you see excess movement in the top mount??
-
thanks dazzler i shall check that after work or at weekend
thanks mick

Also check the front anti-roll bar bushes are not shot as particularly on driver's side the roll bar sits quite close to chassis member and could be knocking there.
