Hi chaps and chapess's

Love the car, but have a strange issue developed...

90 mins into a journey we started to get a wine related to engine speed, regardless of being in gear or neutral or park...

On arrival it wouldn't engage reverse to park.. left it for a bit and deliberated what to do, on return went into reverse fine.. so 90 mins into the return journey wine returns and car will not go into 4th... Spoke to a couple of local garages but no one seems to have a suggestion, and can't afford a small fortune on investigation work of to put it into a main delaer....

Any clues for a starting point, cars done 166k FSH

Sorry, got to do it. Was the wine a Burgundy, Chablis, Bordeaux or perhaps a New World wine? :D
