I am extremely meticulous and careful when carrying out work on my car and even more so when i did the work on the suspension, obviously not careful enough!

Is this on the LH or RH side ?- I am a little confused as I am not sure if your car is LHD or RHD.
I am sure you have been very careful during your work, but I recently saw in some manuals for other Rover models that is not advisable to leave drive shafts hanging loose after removal from the hubs when doing suspension work- this can stress and damage the inner joint - either support the shaft or remove it completely (which requires draining the gearbox oil, which is a bit of a pain). This is not usually a problem for the shorter LH shaft, but can be an issue for the longer RH shaft, so I have heard.
