The cars started making a clicking clunky noise when I pull away and brake at low speed. It sounds like a dodgy bearing. Has anyone any ideas what it could be?

Sounds like a CV joint. Is it worse when cornering?

As Col said it could be the c.v. joint but check the cheaper alternatives first .
Brake pads loose in the calliper can give a clicking noise as they move about the calliper carrier when braking.
Suspension bushes worn can click/rattle when taking the strain of accelerating and braking.

Loose subframe bolts can also cause clicking , I think there's a post about it somewhere. Also engine mountings
