The clutch on the ZX is worn.
You have to grind it and yank it into reverse and the car judders a bit when pulling off in first, is this likely to be the cable, clutch itself or?
Pretty much the only issue I have with it (as far as I can see) atm!

Clutch cable, bushes and pressure plate.
Change all of these, it'll be like new.

Also, I once changed a clutch on an XUD to cure juddering, turned out it was a knackered engine mount causing it...

Could well be the self adjuster on the cable so change that first, if not then its new cluch time

Could be the gear linkage for the reverse and engine mount for the juddering.

Thanks for contributing nothing to my thread (gtfo lol).
What gearbox oil do these take or is it universal? Never done gbox oil / service before so sorry if it's obvious!

ATF? No no no.
Pug/Citroën boxes seem very sensitive to gearbox oil, always use genuine pug/cit stuff when you can

They don't like 75w/80 which is normal for most trannies, they only really like the 75w/90 stuff... And they are normally picky and prefer the Peugeot Total BV stuff, they do make less noise and feel so much better.
Don't use Red ATF or whatever, it'll f*ck the synchros... I know this!
My gearbox is destroyed after using engine oil in it after only about 6000 miles lol, sounds horrific, synchros graunch like hell..

Genuine Peugeot oil is not an option so I'm guessing the next best thing would be some 75w/90 of some variation. If Mills don't happen to stock this is 75W/85 ok?
Cheers guys!

Ok in that case I'll get it from them, only reason I didn't want to is because I get super savings at Mills with my account.
75w/90 it is from Peugeot then.
On the subject, can anyone explain how to access or the best way to renew the gear box oil? Do I need to remove the battery for access? Cheers!

Fill it from the top tbh, so much easier, theres a little plastic plug, undo that with 17mm, and just poke the oil straight in there...

Yeah, I'll just take the battery box out, may aswell make it easy on myself.
The drain is nice and obvious underneath I'm guessing too?

yep, its usually the one covered in g/b oil 
but if you have a leak free plug, its the big round one, about the size of a 50p with a square hole in it. 8mm if memory serves. same as the metal bar thing in door handles/knobs
