Was it still running?

well still held its self in park but in drive just reved no movement and yes still running

I'm no expert, but my jag xjs did this after a long, fast drive.Would only move in reverse, even then not properly.

An oil+ filter(dont know if zx's have one) change was enough to sort it.

any other ideas any body cheers

Have you checked fluid level?

try the fluid level but sounds like the filter is blocked and sucking up crap !

Have you checked fluid level?

not yet mate but will do just gathering all info i can before i start working on it anything else

Sounds like blocked filter to me too, when you leave the car off for a while the rubbish falls off the filter allowing it to pass oil for a while until it blocks again.

 

Trouble is the reason there is crap in there is because the box is on its last legs, probably.
