Never heard of this problem before.
But your a lucky chappie for only being charged Ԛ£45 for recovery and getting it all bolted back together...

Yep 
Fell of at about ten mph. phew.
Had been doing over a ton on the motorway about ten minuets beforehand.
I pushed it up on the kerb to crawl underneath and bolted it back on as i happened to have the tools with me.
The reason it fell off is because i didn't put any thread lock on the bolts when i changed the diff

yep this happend to me a few months ago, and me and demlotcrew re-fitted my diff that time after i changed the bush on the back plate.
Was funny as i was about 100 yards from my house, so i just walked home and got my tools and bolted her back up tight and shes fine! was lucky i suppose. they need to be quite tight but not mega. I don;t know the official torque settings either
My parents thought i had just left it there parked!
