Fronts or rears?

Seized/stuck caliper piston, seized slide(s) on front.

"Rattle" or "Anti-rattle" plates not normally supplied with modern brake pads - Vx pads have rubber anti-rattle backing on back.

Are the little spring clips on front edge of pads correctly located?

Op states there is calliper play when brakes not applied, either the bolts are loose or the sliders are worn giving play.

Ive triple checked these, the bolts are done up as tight as possible, and the sliders are all greased and move in and out fine. i am really stuck with this, i cant see why its doing it, i havent been able to get a set of pads yet to see if its that thats causing it in some way. :(

Sliders are designed to move in the calliper piston direction, if worn they move in the wheel direction as well for and aft. This allows them to rattle or clunk over bumps.

Also consider wheel barings, top shock mounts, steering knuckle, failed wishbone bushes, track rod ends, steering idler etc
