The fact you had work done recently on the DCT means there's a higher likely hood the repairer hadn't seated a plug correctly or damaged some wiring.
Start with some questions ..
Have you done any work recently in and around the shifter ?
What work have you done recently to the car?
Have you had a look at all the connections? going to the DCT ?
Can you take apart the centre console and check/ re seat all plugs going to the shifter unit ?
How old is your battery?
Do you have access to spare parts ?
Is there a decent independent repairer nearby?

One thing I should add first is I had the roof down when the car was parked for 45mins and the sun was beaming in (round 4:45-5:30pm). I also flick the shifter across into sports mode and back to D (sports button always pressed) regularly.
I agree with module or wiring
With Work recently to the dct it was 10000km ago. That’s along time for something to happen after with no signs of driving issues or oil leaks.
As for your questions
No work recently
No I haven’t. I have no idea how to check that stuff
I’m going to YouTube and try
Battery is <6 months old and was registered correctly.
Spare parts = fcp or ecs
Yes for a good indy
