We had a look and it appears to be squirting from a metal pipe near the radiator and it is definately ATF and not CCF

Well the pipe will have to be removed, so why not take it to a local hydraulic firm and ask them to replace the rubber pipe, but if your going to do it your self follow this link. http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Oil_cooler_pipes.html
Dexron lll is the up to date spec for Dexron ll, any brand will do and there's no such thing as Dextron.

Never spotted that, it was a straight paste and copy from LR's handbook.

To be honest this may not be cheapest but I am not in any recovery organisation at the moment.
As to pipe not able to remove until Saturday if I could get car home. And the local hydraulic place, not sure if they would, they will make up replacement ACE pipes but not anything requiring machining.
Main issue is getting to these places, I would need to fix my bicycle then pedal 2-3 miles each way to the hydraulic place. Would take up a day or so, so best option for me unfortunately is to cough up.

Can you wrap the hose perforation with a piece of rubber insertion and put a worm drive hose clamp around it, replace the lost tranny oil and drive the beast home, not a permanent solution but I have used this method to "fudge" a fix of a burst hydraulic steering hose on my mates Caterpillar front end loader to get it back to his workshop, unless the hose has a really big split this method will stem the flow.

Mainly lack of tools, and time of year.
I work on the countryside and live in suburbs, the nearest ATF seller is quite a way from either.
About 15mm to 20mm split lengthways
The garage who have ordered the parts are about 3/4 of a mile from work, and their hourly rate is not too high.
It is a case too busy for time off, tools are at home, just a bit stuck, however very lucky it burst so near work.
