Got this front diff from a breaker for very few €€. I know it is hard to judge from two piccys but what do you guys think, is it worth keeping it?

Mine looked a lot worse than that and was still working despite the crownwheel bearings having partially turned into shrapnel and caused much more damage than those chips. If you clean it all out to get rid of the broken bits and it still sounds OK - I don't see there being a problem.
On the other hand, a replacement is £280 from Ashcrofts....

I didn't remove it from the axle myself, this is the way I got it. No chips found, the black is muck in the botttom of the grooves, partially wiped off. I could not find any broken bits.
