check error codes mate
could be trans overheated, or even just a fuse,
to something more sinister like new box needed
there have been many threads on this in the forum might need to start having fun trawling

them

yeh it is tip... By the looks of it the transmition oil is getting too hot.. I checked the error codes and it is flashing 2hz per secon.. also after i turned the car off and let it cool down it was fine.. Now i am stuck in wagga and have to go home to canberra tomorrow because i have to work. now will it be safe to drive the car to canberra which is a 2 and a half hour drive or should i leave the car here and get it fixed also what can cause the oil to get hot and how can i fix it and is it expensive?

oil can gethot via running for long time, not being regulary serviced, pushing too hard, cooler damaged so forstarters i would get trans serviced ie change oil and filter and just might solve issues.
as for driving if it is all normal then i would drive but carefully as flashing N means it was in limp mode. But i take no responsibilty if it goes boom

(highly unlikely

)

Yeah totally agree with vip. Change the oil and filter and she will be sweet.

Personally i would drive it home.....if i absolutely had to get to work but i would drive it like a granny.
