Jock, it would be useful if you could post a contact for a valve body specialist. Don't think I've come across one before.

Mackie Transmissions in Glasgow is one.
Any ZF specialist can do it AFAIK. There are a few in the UK.

Mackies charged me 500-odd to test, repair and retest the VB.

... reason for trying to find out what is wrong is so that I can hopefully get an idea on whats wrong with the gearbox before I give a blank cheque to Mackie's or who ever will be carrying out the repair. It could be nothing or it could be something serious but apart from not going into drive when ...

... Have you checked the ATF? Did this happen immediately or have you noticed problems growing over time? You have a few options here, as there is Mackie Transmissions in Glasgow who are very well respected ZF builders.... I'd be checking the ATF level first, before anything though, as this is ...

After undertaking the diagnostics and clearing the error readings, there has been no further problems. I spoke to http://www.mackie-transmission.com/ who appear to be the most knowledgeable business in in Scotland, but now after 2 weeks and 800 miles, including a trip to the West of ...

... warranty company dealt with mine although mine had thrown up 17125 error code - never in limp mode though interestingly enough! Had a look at the mackie transmissions link, look like they tick most of the boxes (zf authorised etc) but wonder if they have ever worked on an RS6? Only reason I question ...

In my search for more info on TCs, valve blocks, etc I found this crew http://www.mackie-transmission.com/index.htm just along the road from me.
