Pajero 2.5 LWB 1991 Auto

My Paj has died! driving along at about 50mph, engine suddenly labours, thinks brakes? no, they work fine, we are running for a ferry in France with 3 kids on board, so decide to risk it (not a word!) anyway few miles and clutch smell , decide enough is enough, waiting for next layby, but before this happens it feels like the brakes have been stamped on, swerve to side of road, big bang and if I had braked and left in gear and stopped the engine, but, engine still running!! put in to L and pulls away, not labouring, just a god aweful smell of burning, put into D and go the last 5 miles to ferry.... get of ferry 10 mile drive to home and grinding noise, parked up and waiting for garage to collect tomorrow.

Befor anyone say's I did wrong I KNOW! guilt all over my face, and I'm going to no pay the price!

Anyway, has anyone any idea what could have happened, and has the Paj left this world?

Thanks for the info..

Is this an expensive job? just trying to brace for the garage phone call!
