Audi A8 2.8 autobox grumble

My A8 autobox has started grumbling a little whilst in drive. It doesnt do it in neutral or in park. The box performs well so really it's more of a minor annoyance. Any ideas what it could be?

Can anyone recomend a gearbox service near London and/or Bournemouth? I have a 2.8, so imagine it's not as specialist a job as the V8s?
