Hi guys, I have a small issue. I never really use the tiptronic mode on my 02 porsche boxster but for the sake of it I decided to put the gear into M and test it. To my surprise, when I shifted to M, it made no difference and the dashboard was still showing D. Couldn't change gears or anything, it really was in Drive. I have no issue shifting into P, R, N & D. Does anyone know what the problem is? Is it a common one? What would need changing? Transmission? I mean, it's not like I use that option often but again I was surprised to see it wasn't working, I remember testing it out a few months back and it was fine.
Thanks for your help!
