Where have you been? It's been posted before.
Think it was down to a ruptured oil line to the gearbox.

lrn2read, the guy tells you what was at fault in the vidajimo. Transmission oil leak...

[edit: Any one else notice it was on coil springs? Turns out what they say is true. Coils are dangerous!]

Hot cats, hot transmission fluid or even long dry grass get on like an house on fire or in this case Landrover.

Too right Wammers.
A friend of mine parked his car in long grass and set it on fire, fortunately he spotted it and moved the car, then started doing a strange ritual dance on the fire.
