I had this exact same issue and I could not afford to replace the strut right then so I drove it like that for 2 months until I could which surprisingly the Rover did quite well no problem once replaced. I know the sound your hearing I explained in a previous thread (link is below). I would try to get it taken care of soon but as long as you follow what I said in that link you should be fine. Although Rovers can be quite a maintenance issue they hold up quite well in the face of adversity and being pushed to its limits. Check out the link and see if thats what your talking about.

Thanks guy, so the noise coming when i go up an incline from a stop is the traction control?
