991 GTS PDK issue
Discussion
Bit of advice required.
Driving home from work today and not 3 miles in my PDK starts changing very jerkily. Shortly after I get a warning message stating gearbox fault: no reverse gear yellow warning message.
I limped home after calling Porsche assistance who informed me the car was safe to drive. Car being repatriated to OPC tomorrow.
Any ideas or view son what may have caused this?
Given she's only done 2300 miles frankly I'm effing furious!....

Definitely not the handbrake. I park on flat areas so don't ever use it as a rule. Besides, doesn't it switch off when you start moving on a 991 or provide a warning signal?
Porsche assist have left with a not so nice bus of a 5 series estate. Hopefully will get the dealer to provide a similar vehicle on Monday.

update from today.
OPC now been advised by Porsche GB technical to replace an item in the gearbox called the pneumatic valve unit or something similar. This appears to be the item that has, according to the download from the car, failed.
Meanwhile the OPC is very helpfully providing me with their demo GTS so I can get out of the 5 series estate lerv-wagon of death and boredom (albeit it 55mpg!!).
Sounds like I won't have my car back for about a week at the earliest......
Not in all the years of me having new cars (and as ex motor trade I've had a few) have I EVER had this type of failure with such little mileage @ 2300 miles.
I do have a sense of foreboding, or as any character in a U.S. TV series might say "I've got a bad feeling about this"....
