Just got home from work and felt a gudder but nothing major. Parked up and noticed I now have a nice hole in the rear diff and has dumped most of the fluid.
It is a 2004 TD4 and done around 60,000 gentle miles!

Any ideas? Has anyone had anything similar happen? Where do I go from here, I will obviously have to find a diff from a breakers.

Think you've probably been very unlucky. As you say, time to visit a breaker & also check out your VCU along with the rest of the drivetrain just in case though knackered VCU usually kills the ird.
