Sounds like your transmission has come to the end of its life. You can try getting the transmission flushed , and an additive I.E. No Slip added. That might cure some of the problems but obviously if its slipping the clutchs inside are worn out and transmission needs an overhaul.
Thanks for the really prompt reply... not knowing much about engines am I right to think this is an expensive problem to put right if the car goes into a garage to have done and with the age and mileage am I best to leave well alone and try to change the car? If the transmission is failing what happens next- do other gears start to fail or will it fail totally? I can't repair the car myself so will need to make some hard decisions if it is an expensive problem..ouch!
Chances are it will be cheaper to replace the vehicle.. Chances are it will fail totally at some point.. I would recomend having it looked at by a transmission shop and have them look at it. It could be an easy fix, or might not . either way having it looked at will be your best bet
