    Can anybody tell me how to change the query below so that it works of the term id rather than the term name?

    <?php
    query_posts(array(
        'post_type' => 'products',
		'taxonomy' => 'category',
		'term' => 'mytermname',
        'showposts' => 10
    ) );
    ?>

    Something like this: (Does not work)

    <?php
    query_posts(array(
        'post_type' => 'products',
		'taxonomy' => 'category',
		'term_id' => '57',
        'showposts' => 10
    ) );
    ?>

    Thanks

    Untested but this might work:

    <?php
     $args = array(
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'category',
			'field' => 'id',
			'terms' => 57
		)
	)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

    Managed to get it working with this:

    <?php $termID = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'related_category_id_meta', true); ?>
<?php query_posts( 'post_type=products&cat='.$termID.'&posts_per_page=-1' ); ?>

    Basically I have a dropdown category selector on the custom post type category page which allows the user to select the related categories to feed under the category page
