I might try and see if it's useable in Tiptronic mode as I also have the steering column switches to make that easier to use.
My biggest problem, assuming I can get a new F125 switch, is finding somewhere competent to change it that's within a reasonable distance of South Bucks.  |
Don't assume it necessarily needs replaced.
Have you been using the car much recently? My recent experience over the last couple of years is that it can show the dreaded red PRNDS once in a blue moon, and that can disappear completely if the box is "actively used" via the stick shift or the paddles.
Though I think you may use yours more than I use mine...
