There is a guy on YouTube (Gary Ferraro) who re-builds zf transmissions including the 5hp24 fit to our cars.
It may be worth checking out his channel if you haven't already. He does a section on common faults and, if I remember correctly, he mentions the little steel pipe that is prone to breaking.
I can't remember exactly but he may even go into what the symptoms are when this happens.
Fingers crossed it's something cheap.
Cheers Frank
