Justin,

Thanks for the information. Some others I've spoken to have informed me it's not PlugnPlay and needs to be the precise Part number replacement. I still have no idea to be honest. Porsche aren't much help.
I am having some flaring issues with the TIP, and I thought maybe it's the TCU, I've had it serviced (by an indy) but it's still doing it a little, so it may be hydraulic or mechanical. Fortunately I found out last week I don't live far away from the ZF Tranny specialists, so I've booked my car in for the end of the month, they'll diagnose and test the TIP and let me know.

If any of you are wondering what it is like to drive the car without a TCU. Just remove the fuse E10, you'll soon replace it !!
