Ouch. At least it isn't too difficult to swap out.

Get yourself a new/stronger front diff. Rover ones are weak, especially in the front.

I would fit a LSD. They are better for traction and much much stronger. Yours will be a rover diff, not a P38.

P38 diffs only went in the rear. the housing wont fit the front. i suggest pull whole wheel station form axle to change its alot easier, mind the brake lines if in doubt calipers off. only 7 bolts each side then. Cheers

I'm sure I remember someone else quite recently reporting this happening, in one of the "diff failure" threads.
