When I say "Father"and"Further" in English "British" pronunciation, I see no difference! Am I wrong?
Or may be they're pronounced the same way and meaning difference depends on the context! Does it?
(( I mean when "R" is somehow silent ))

Do you mean 'father' and 'farther' ? If you do, you are correct. These two words are homophones in standard British pronunciation. The first syllable in both these words is 'far'.
'Further' has a different sound - like the word 'fur' (as in animal fur)
