And having finally done a VCDS scan my thoughts are definitely going that way.
Apart from the not unusual "01119 - Gear Recognition Signal 35-10 - - - Intermittent" in the ABS controller (03), I also had: "17090 - Transmission Range Sensor (F125) P0706 - 35-10 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent" in the Transmission controller (02). Now I don't think I've seen the latter code on either of my S8s in almost 18 years of ownership so it sticks out like a sore thumb! I'll still acquire a spare relay anyway, but not treat it with any urgency.

Did a bit of testing with my bypass wire, original relay, Franks relay and the new one. Totally consistent results. Basically it will no longer start, even moving the gear selector, with any relay installed. It starts perfectly with the bypass wire. So it's a racing certainty that the F125 switch is the culprit, specifically the P/N circuit. The reverse circuity is currently working fine, just as well really as that drives the reversing lights. Don't think that's an MOT issue though. I'll be returning Franks kit shortly in case he needs it.

Don't worry about returning the relay, you keep it incase it comes in handy.
At this point, if I were you I'd be opening one of the relays up and forcing the contacts shut. It's only doing the same job as your bridge wire but may be safer if you want to put all the carpets back etc. It will buy you some time until you get chance to sort out the F215 switch. I've never done one but from what I gather it's only £150 for the part but a real PITA to do.

If I can ever get the switch off and take it apart I do have the advantage of my "old" switch which was worn but not broken. It's quite likely that putting the two together can produce one good one with a decent life ahead of it. Maybe just needs one of the little contacts moving from the spare arm to the broken one? Edit: Just to add that a VCDS scan (after a few short journeys) now only shows the "typical" "01119 - Gear Recognition Signal 35-10 - - - Intermittent" so I suspect that whatever has broken isn't affecting things that much beyond the P/N circuit.

And even that hasn't recurred, todays scan after several more journeys is clean.
