Double check the Steering Idler for play before condemning the 'Box, they're a damn site cheaper

Agreed, steering boxes don't normally fail. Pig of a job, and not cheap to source, so I would explore every other option first.

ive replaced steering idler for from new, new inner, outer track rod ends and front arms and centre rod all in last 8 months. ive found a steering box on ebay all for £40. the handling of the car is really bad, thinking about selling it.

When did the clonking start? Was it after any work done? Or was the work done to try and fix the clonk?
