Hi Steve, your gearbox is going into limp mode, it reverts to third gear when there is a fault. i had a problem with my espace, (1999 2 ltr 8 valve with ad4 transmission) very similar to this about three years ago, had it checked by local specialist who advised fault codes present relating to oil pressure, he advised to try a new sensor which i got him to do and its been ok since. not cheap though, sensor was £160 but sorted it. you could check the oil level first the info on doing this is in the espace vault i think, the tube you mentioned is the filler but there is no dip stick, level is determined by fluid leak off from the triangular socket plug on the bottom of the sump, the other is the drain. i would check the oil level first or change the oil then if fault is still present get the fault codes read and go from there, regards paul.
