Thanks everyone, I've made a few phone calls today, ZF themselves were really helpful and a technician they suggested checking the oil level, Dave at A8 Parts suggested checking viscosity (and he doesn't have my gearbox in stock), my mechanic suggested that it might be an electrical fault.
I'm still expecting the worse, but I now think that I'll go down this route: get the error codes checked (doesn't a faulty MAF cause gearbox problems?), get the oil checked for viscosity and levels, and if none of those come up with a soultion I will resign myself to the fate of burning a hole in my bank balance.
(and the worst thing: the guy at the body shop said to me that the looked fantastic for it's age and asked if it was low mileage)
