It sounds like your transmission has gone into limp mode. Are there any fault codes? (ie, is the Check Engine light or any other warning lights on or flashing?)

There was a puddle of ATF under car so might have just busted a line from tranny cooler!? But i couldnt be seen working on the car cos if they new it was broken they would get it towed and i got it booked for free tow tommorrow. So can someone have a look at this code and tell me what they see pls

It looks like your transmission (flashing N light) has codes 41 and 45. And was the N light flashing when you were limping it home? It was likely doing a constant blinking.

I couldn't find an English version for code 45, so here's what Google translate says...

Code No. 45 shift completion is not completed 5 speed <5 A / T>

After shifting to the 5th speed, the value obtained by multiplying the output shaft speed sensor output by the 5th speed gear ratio is input.
If it does not match the force shaft speed sensor output, code No. 45 is output.
When code No. 45 is output four times, it is fixed to 3rd speed, when the N range lamp is 1 Hz flickers.

Probable cause
- Input shaft speed sensor problem
- Output shaft speed sensor problem
- UD clutch retainer problem
- Direct planetary carrier failure
- 2ND Brake system fault
- OD clutch system fault
- DIR clutch system fault
- Noise generation
