I have done and it will pull away very slowly but when I accelerate it goes no where, just seems to make it worse

Have you checked the linkage on the gearbox in case you have bent it?

Google ZF HP22 gearbox and look at the black cable that comes out of the box on the left hand side, Iirc and its been a while since I last had one the cable runs up to the bottom of the transmission tunnel.

Gearbox level dipstick is under the bonnet again cant remember (towards the rear rings a bell?) which side of the engine, check it with the engine running,

Could be bad news according to Ashcroft Transmission’s site.

To help u I’d the auto fluid dip-stick it has a yellow top to it. Check the fluid level when cold with the engine idling with moving the selector from D to 3 and back stopped at each position for a couple of seconds.
