Thanks Hefty. The yellow engine/oil warning light only came on for a couple of km before it stopped, so I'd hope Toyota made an engine that checks itself before it wrecks itself.
Sigh. This could really smash me in the wallet.

Ideally you should have stopped when it came on and checked what it meant as there's every chance it meant 'stop now or the engine will blow up in a couple of km'.
Never mind, the Congo Nile Trail sounds way cool.

You're going to have to find a friendly garage, it could be all manner of things.
It might be that an air hose has rattled loose, causing an imbalance in the fuelling and just needs clipping back in. Or it could equally be that you cooked the engine when it dropped its coolant and it now needs a new one.
