Tiptronic stuck in Auto

Greetings from the Emerald Isle! :dance:

My recently acquired late 1999 Boxster won't go into manual. Had a local Porsche specialist do some work on it recently and he temporarliy fixed the problem - told me it was a loose connection near the shift stick, but it has again stopped working.

All the Tip lights seem fine - no blinking and shows me what gear the car is in as it changes in auto; it just won't go from Drive to Manual.

If it's a simple fix (e.g. faulty connection) then I'd like to have a go myself but I don't know how to gain access - I guess I need to remove the centre column shift housing somehow? I'm sure the Bentley Boxster repair manual would probably tell me how to get at it but it's a bit pricey for the casual DIYer like me!

Many thanks and great forum
John
