Can you narrow down where specifically the knocking is coming from?

I take it the oil level is ok?

Chances are it is camshaft bearing related. I'm not sure if the Daewoo engines aren't based upon the older Vauxhall Astra engines, if this is the case these di used to suffer from poor cam bearing lubrication leading to eventual knocking of the camshaft. The best way to cure this is a reconditioned cylinder head assembly.

You don't say if this is heard while the vehicle is stationary or only when moving over bumps for example or corners in which case it has nothing to do with the engine.
