The slight clunking on my rover 45 that I was previously told is just 'taking up the slack' has now got worse. I had a quick look under the bonnet today and noticed a 1/2" crack at the top of the offside wishbone on the inner side near a big rubber block. How much will this cost to replace or even weld ?

Forget welding, it is an MOT fail.
if the crack is on the rubber bush you might get that bush separate simply press out old/press in new one
if the crack is on the metal part of the wishbone then its a new wishbone
- a local factor place is cheaper than the dealer
Buy a new one. If you can DIY (and it's not that complicated a job) price up the parts at the local motor factor but check them with the prices from a dealership.
If I were you, I'd stop driving it. If it goes completely, it'll cost you a shedload more and could end up sending you to hospital.
